Our study introduced a machine learning-based COVID-19 Vulnerability Index (C19VI). C19VI was used to assess the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on minority and low-income communities. Looking at values of C19VI against racial composition and poverty datasets revealed that seventy-five percent of Black Americans and eighty-two percent of poor Americans are in high COVID-19 vulnerable zones. This study will help the emergency planners and public officials prioritize and map the communities that need support during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
