The yellow fever outbreak of 1793 primarily affected the residents of Philadelphia, which was the capital of the United States at the time. The disease disproportionately impacted the city's poor and immigrant populations, as they often lived in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. The epidemic led to thousands of deaths and caused widespread panic, prompting many wealthier citizens to flee the city. Overall, it is estimated that about 5,000 of the city's 50,000 residents died from the disease during this outbreak.
