Harlem Coronavirus Cases: City Releases Data By Zip Code

HARLEM, NY — More than 1,000 Harlemites have tested positive for coronavirus, according to a new batch of city data that breaks down the number of positive tests in each city zip code.

A long-awaited breakdown of coronavirus cases by neighborhood released Wednesday shows which neighborhoods have been hit the hardest by the outbreak of coronavirus in New York City. Harlem's 1,281 cases, out of 2,774 tests, accounts for roughly 17% of Manhattan's total of 7,278 cases, according to the latest city data.

The data indicates that Harlem residents are contracting coronavirus at a greater rate than the borough of Manhattan as a whole. Manhattan accounts for just 15% of total New York City coronavirus cases.

Here's how the numbers break down for Harlem's eight zip codes:

• 10026: 126 (300 tests)
• 10027: 170 (422)
• 10029: 290 (668)
