Corrigendum to “Overcrowding and COVID-19 mortality across U.S. counties: Are disparities growing over time?” [SSM-Population Health 15 (2021) 100845] (SSM - Population Health (2021) 15, (S2352827321001208), (10.1016/j.ssmph.2021.100845))

The authors regret that population density was mislabeled in the original text. This variable should be labeled as land area in square miles. This correction applies to Tables 1 and 2, as well as the text within our 3.2.2. Explanatory and control variables section. The authors note that when controlling for population density (calculated as the number of persons per square mile), as opposed to land area in square miles, the results are consistent with those presented in the manuscript. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
