Analysis of Demographics and Mobility Across D.C. During COVID-19

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, decision makers across the world created policies to curb the spread of the disease. These policies influenced many aspects of society in an effort to reduce COVID-19 caseload and deaths and limit economic impacts. There is now a growing set of data capturing policies, the effects on the policy environment, and the ongoing impacts of the pandemic itself on different regions and populations, as measured by these different impacts. Together, these data provide a basis to better understand how and whether policies achieved their intended outcomes and, where possible, to inform future policymaking to best support those continuing to experience the impacts of the pandemic. This report describes the analysis of these impacts across different communities within Washington, D.C., and provides the foundation for further analysis for the relative impact of policies on each of these groups
