COVID-19 positivity rates within the Minnesota Electronic Health Record (EHR) Consortium, by (A) individual race and ethnicity, (B) zip code tabulation area (ZCTA)–level socioeconomic status, and (C) ZCTA-level rurality, Minnesota, 2020. Estimates are 3-week rolling averages. Definitions of race and ethnicity are mutually exclusive and reflect self-reported identities collected from the EHR. Hispanic patients, regardless of race, were categorized as Hispanic; non-Hispanic patients were categorized according to race. Neighborhood-level socioeconomic status was defined at the ZCTA level using median annual household income from the 2015-2019 American Community Survey (ACS).14 Rurality was defined at the ZCTA level using 2010 rural–urban commuting area (RUCA) codes from the US Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service15 and percentage of patients living in rural areas from the 2015-2019 ACS.14 ZCTAs were labeled as urban if they were classified as urban by RUCA and had <50% of the population living in a rural area, rural if they were classified as rural by RUCA and had ≥50% of the population living in a rural area, exurban if they were classified as urban by RUCA and had ≥50% of the population living in a rural area, and small town if they were classified as rural by RUCA and had <50% of the population living in a rural area. An MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) week is the week of the epidemiologic year used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for disease reporting.
