*Excludes the coefficients for ZIP code–level median income and time because of interaction between median income and time. A random intercept was included for ZIP code. The period covered in this analysis is March 1–August 16, 2020. SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. †Adjusted for all covariates listed plus ZIP code estimated median income and time of test in days. Model intercept represents odds of a White female in the 0–4-y age group in a ZIP code in the first quartile of college degree and insured with the average population density. The odds of this person testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 is estimated to be 0.19 (95% CI 0.16–0.22). ‡Estimated percentage of population density in a person’s ZIP code.
