Here’s which San Francisco neighborhoods have the highest and lowest percentages of vaccinated people - San Francisco Chronicle

New neighborhood-level data on vaccinations in San Francisco shows that the area with the highest proportion of doses is Japantown, and the least-vaccinated area is Treasure Island.

In Japantown, 37% of the 3,532 residents have received one or more doses, followed by Twin Peaks, where 24% of the 8,019 residents have gotten a shot or two.. Meanwhile, just 5% of the 3,064 residents of Treasure Island have been inoculated.

The Tenderloin, another lower-income neighborhood, is also lagging, with 13% of residents vaccinated.

“Mobile vaccine site needed on TI, along with the Tenderloin,” San Francisco supervisor Matt Haney tweeted on Saturday afternoon, noting that Treasure Island has a large population of older, low-income residents.

The data comes from the city’s updated vaccine tracker, which now includes a table showing each neighborhood’s population, the number of neighborhood residents who have gotten vaccines and the percentage of each neighborhood’s residents that have received at least one shot.

The data does not show that the wealthiest and whitest neighborhoods receive a higher shares of doses.

The Marina, for instance, lags behind Bayview-Hunters Point, with 13% of its population vaccinated compared to the latter’s 18%. Other wealthy neighborhoods, like Pacific Heights and Haight Ashbury, have a smaller proportion of their residents vaccinated than lower-income areas like Chinatown and Excelsior.

Overall, Asian San Franciscans have the highest vaccination rate of any single ethnic group, receiving 32% of doses administered — close to their percentage of the population, which is 34.6%.

White residents, on the other hand, lag slightly: About 30% of doses have gone to white, non-Hispanic residents, even though they make up over 42% of the city’s population. Hispanic and Black residents are also lagging slightly behind on vaccination rates, though not as starkly as white San Franciscans.

The data on ethnicity is self-reported, meaning that it doesn’t exactly line up with how U.S. Census estimates categorize San Franciscans. For example, 14.5% of vaccines have gone to people who marked their race as “other” or “unknown,” although those categories made up just 0.5% of the city population in Census figures.

When it comes to age, the city appears to be following California’s framework: People over 65 make up just 17% of San Francisco’s population, but have received 48% of shots so far. People under 34 have received 17% of shots while comprising nearly 40% of the population.

San Francisco overall has vaccinated about 17% of its population with at least one dose. That’s better than the U.S. overall: 14.6% of Americans have received at least one shot, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
