According to Insee data, Seine-Saint-Denis registered more than 118.4% between March 1 and April 10, more than any other department in the Île-de-France, one of the regions hardest hit by the Covid-19 epidemic. Solene Brown, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Migratory Convergence, and Patrick Simon, research director at the Ined, analyzed these figures and included poverty, but also “ethnic-racial discrimination” as factors for this excess mortality.

The two researchers point to the fact that these excess mortality rates take into account the place of death rather than the place of residence of the deceased, which in the case of Seine-Saint-Denis skews the figures downward. Between 2018 and 2020, more than a quarter (27%) of the deceased people who remained in the ward died outside; in the same period from March 1 to April 19, 2020, that share rises to 24%, half of whom died in Paris.

Among the factors mentioned, population density (6,802 inhabitants/km2, more than 64 times the average density in France) explains the spread of the virus, correlated with the rates of overcrowding in dwellings that are highest in Île-de-France (20.6%, compared to 12.7% of the regional average).

The strong presence of the immigrant population at the age of 93 (30% of the population, compared to 9% in the country) is another explanation, related to the inequalities observed regardless of the epidemic: “For the same age, the declared state of health of immigrants is generally worse than that of the French at birth, which seems to be closely related to the unsafe living conditions they face more frequently, but also to the experiences of discrimination and racism, which are factors that explain the inequalities in health”, write the researchers, Ined.
A study published on May 11 by the regional Health Observatory in Ile-de-France showed that the differences in the already existing Seine-Saint-Denis served as fertile ground for the spread of the epidemic, the coronavirus, which resulted in an exponential increase in mortality. “Ethnic statistics in the United States and Great Britain unambiguously show the overrepresentation of some ethnic-racial minorities among the victims of Covid-19,” they also state.

Another long-standing problem, the fact that 93 is a medical desert, has worsened the situation: “The department has the lowest density of doctors, both specialists and specialists. The hospital equipment rate is also the lowest in the region for all types of facilities (2 beds per 1,000 inhabitants, compared to 3.3 in Île-de-France and 7.7 in Paris)”, adds Ined.
