Description
Daily counts of COVID-19 metrics for New York City residents, updated from a public GitHub repository. The dataset includes case, hospitalization, and death figures, with many columns providing 7-day averages and breakdowns by borough (BK, BX, MN, QN, SI). It is hosted on the Socrata platform by data.cityofnewyork.us and was last updated on 2026-04-03.
Use Cases
Modeling the relationship between daily case counts (ALL_CASE_COUNT_7DAY_AVG) and subsequent hospitalization rates (SI_HOSPITALIZED_COUNT_7DAY_AVG, BX_HOSPITALIZED_COUNT) using time-series analysis.
Comparing probable (PROBABLE_CASE_COUNT) vs. confirmed case trends across different boroughs (BK_PROBABLE_CASE_COUNT, QN_PROBABLE_CASE_COUNT_7DAY_AVG).
Analyzing the lagged impact of borough-specific cases (MN_CASE_COUNT_7DAY_AVG, BX_ALL_CASE_COUNT_7DAY_AVG) on borough-specific deaths (SI_DEATH_COUNT, BK_DEATH_COUNT_7DAY_AVG).
Tracking the progression of the pandemic over time using the date_of_interest column alongside core metrics like DEATH_COUNT and HOSPITALIZED_COUNT columns.
Includes both daily counts and 7-day rolling averages (e.g., ALL_CASE_COUNT_7DAY_AVG, SI_HOSPITALIZED_COUNT_7DAY_AVG) for smoothing and trend analysis.
