Los Angeles County COVID-19 Vaccination and Case Rates by Neighborhood

Los Angeles County Department of Public Health publishes weekly data on COVID-19 vaccination rates and case outcomes at the neighborhood level. The dataset includes metrics for first-dose and full vaccination coverage alongside case and death counts and rates. Its cross-platform presence on Socrata and Data.gov indicates its use for public health monitoring and community-level analysis.

Use Cases

• Mapping vaccination disparities using COMMUNITY, Percent_of_People_Fully_Vaccinated, and Percent_of_People_with_1__Dose
• Analyzing the relationship between case rates and vaccination coverage using Case_Rate and Percent_of_People_Fully_Vaccinated
• Comparing COVID-19 mortality across city types using Death_Rate, Deaths, and CITY_TYPE
• Tracking weekly changes in community-level pandemic metrics using COMMUNITY, Cases, and Deaths

Strengths

• Provides neighborhood-level granularity for Los Angeles County, as indicated by the COMMUNITY and City_Community columns
• Updated weekly according to all platform descriptions, suggesting regular maintenance

Limitations

• Conflicting 'last updated' dates across platforms (2026-04-03, 2026-04-05, 2026-04-11) create uncertainty about the true freshness
• Key metadata like row count, file size, and specific license details are missing from all sources
• The Data.gov source lists columns as 'unknown', indicating incomplete metadata on that platform
