The Most Vulnerable Zip Codes to the Coronavirus

Stay Informed. Stay Aware. Stay Safe.

Neighbors in the 75228 ZIP code are among some of the most vulnerable to the coronavirus, according to a map of the most at-risk populations created by the Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation.

The most vulnerable areas in the city are in South Dallas and East Dallas, including the 75228 ZIP code. That ZIP code was in the top five, and the 75206 ZIP code was also in the top 20.

On the index, 75228 is the fifth most at-risk area in Dallas, ranking slightly over 62 on the heat map.

Overall, the map reflects the general disparities that have divided North and South Dallas. However, some affluent areas with a large elderly population prove to be equally as vulnerable as less affluent ZIP codes.

“From a community health perspective, these latest PCCI analytics continue to support our ongoing efforts to proactively identify hotspots, rapidly deploy targeted testing that is accessible, inform and educate the community using culturally sensitive approaches and align other critical resources to support individuals and their families during these difficult times,” said Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Phillip Huang.
