Abstract
This study investigates the association between socioexposomic factors and COVID-19 outcomes in New Jersey using geostatistical and machine learning models. The researchers found robust positive associations between COVID-19 mortality and factors like NO2 exposure, population density, minority percentage, and low educational attainment. While excluding long-term care facility deaths had minimal impact on most correlations, model structure significantly influenced findings. Machine learning models revealed consistent nonlinear associations not captured by geostatistical models.
