Greenwich Village Suffers 63 Coronavirus Deaths, Data Shows

GREENWICH VILLAGE, MANHATTAN — Greenwich Village has lost 63 people to the coronavirus crisis, according to data released for the first time by the city's Health Department this week.

The long-awaited breakdown of coronavirus fatalities by zip code released Monday revealed that 63 people have died of the virus in the three zip codes that include parts of Greenwich Village. The data also included death rates, which calculates the number of fatalities per 100,000 people.

Here's how the numbers break down by zip code:

• 10011: 33 deaths, with a death rate of 66.6 per 100,000 people
• 10014: 23 deaths, with a death rate of 74 per 100,000 people
• 10012: 7 deaths, with a death rate of 29 per 100,000 people

The death toll for Greenwich Village, like many of the city's wealthier neighborhoods, is on the lower end of the number of fatalities across New York City. All three zip codes were in the bottom 25 percent of the 178 zip codes that make up New York City for both death rates and total deaths, according to the data.

The Health Department's data found the virus running rampant in mostly poor neighborhoods and among people of color, largely in the outer boroughs.

All 20 of the zip codes with the highest death counts were found in outer boroughs, the highest being West Queens zip code 11368, where 369 lives were lost. That number is nearly six times more than all three Greenwich Village zip codes combined.

Those in the very high poverty bracket saw a death rate of 232.03 per 100,000 while low-poverty New Yorkers saw less than half that rate at 99.56, data show.

Black and Latino New Yorkers continue to die at about twice the rate of white New Yorkers, when adjusted for age, data show.

The death rate per 100,000 people is 212.79 for Hispanic New Yorkers, 204.79 for Black New Yorkers and 102.94 for white New Yorkers, data show.

The city also listed the 10013 zip code as Greenwich Village-SoHo, though it largely includes Hudson Square and only a small part of SoHo. There were 18 coronavirus deaths in that zip code.
