Abstract

ABSTRACT The impact of the cholera epidemic of 1849 in Buffalo was not uniform. Ethnicity, socioeconomic status, neighborhood, and the physical urban environment directly influenced the direction and timing of the spread of the disease. Diffusion was limited by cultural and physical isolation of the different components of the urban population. Immigrants, situated in the least favorable areas of the city, fared the worst.
