Justificación y objetivos: la comprensión de la situación social del COVID-19 en los países pobres y menos desarrollados aún es dudosa. Así, el objetivo de este estudio es estimar la incidencia y letalidad por COVID-19, según el ingreso per cápita de las regiones administrativas del Distrito Federal (DF). Métodos: se trata de un estudio ecológico descriptivo, basado en datos secundarios. Se incluyeron 31 regiones administrativas del DF, la población estuvo conformada por 382,488 individuos. Se consideraron como variables el sexo, la incidencia, la mortalidad, la letalidad, el grupo de edad, la población estimada y la escolaridad. Resultados: a pesar de la mayor contaminación por mujeres, en términos de mortalidad total, fallecieron más hombres, representando el 57,3% del total de defunciones en el período. En cuanto a la influencia del nivel de educación e ingresos en la incidencia, parece que las tasas más altas de casos confirmados ocurrieron en grupos con mayores niveles de educación e ingresos. A pesar de esta mayor incidencia, es el grupo que presenta la menor letalidad y la tercera mortalidad más baja por 100.000 habitantes. Conclusión: las tasas de incidencia más altas se observaron en las regiones con mayor ingreso per cápita. Por otro lado, la letalidad se produjo de forma más incisiva en las regiones de menor poder adquisitivo. Ante esto, es necesario aplicar medidas preventivas a largo plazo en regiones desiguales.
