Abstract: classification).Similarly, we quantified the distance to the nearest primary care provider with taxonomy codes for internal medicine or family medicine (IM/FM).Variations in distance based on race and ethnicity were calculated by weighting corresponding population count in each census block.Analyses were conducted using QGIS version 3.22, Python version 3.9.12,and Geopandas version 0.11.0.Institutional review board approval was not required as no patient-level data was used.The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.Of 8,132,968 census blocks in the US, 4,191,709 of the census blocks belong to urban areas with a population of ~265 million, while 3,941,259 of the census blocks belong to rural areas with a population of ~66 million.
