Analysis of population density thresholds in the influenza pandemic of 1918
- uniformlyrandom 7y agoFor reference, current population density in popular places: - Population density threshold from the article: 175/sq mi - Santa Clara county: 1,400/sq mi - New York City: 27,016/sq mi - San Francisco: 17,246/sq mi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population_density https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b... I believe that suburban population density still can provide significant advantage in infection rates/population loss over urban areas with extreme population density, despite being 10x the threshold for the last pandemic. I guess we'll get access to that data pretty soon.
