Scores within communities in 2020 and county-mapped anxiety before and after COVID-19 is declared a pandemic. In (a) we showed the 5 community types most commonly represented in our data, out of 15 possible communities as defined by the American Communities Project, are shown in order by the number of measurements captured. A black horizontal mean line is overlaid on swarm plots of the county-week measurements for each community type. In (b) percentile county-level measurements of anxiety are shown, where red shows where anxiety is highest and blue where anxiety is lowest. Pre-declaration is defined as two months before the COVID-19 National Emergency declaration (3/13/2020) and post-declaration is defined as two months after the declaration. The top section depicts national anxiety per county in the post-declaration time window, while the bottom section shows a zoomed-in view of the NYC Metropolitan Area in each time window. Super-county binning is performed to report results for counties that are not individually reliable.
