2015 FOOD ENVIRONMENT

1ST DISTRICT

WHAT IS A FOOD DESERT?

FOOD DESERT FACTORS

A food desert is an indicator for low access to healthy

food. It is an area where residents lack both access and

sufficient economic resources to obtain healthy food.

Food Desert Definition:

An area where the distance to a supermarket or

supermarket alternative is more than 1/4 mile, the

median household income is at or below 185% of the

Federal Poverty Level, over 30% of households have

no vehicle available, and the average Healthy Food

Availability Index (HFAI) score for all food stores is low.

KEY FOOD DESERT INFORMATION

?? Children are twice as likely as adults and seniors to live in

a food desert.

?? Unlike other districts, white residents make up the largest

race/ethnicity in food deserts.

but they are heavily concentrated on the west side of the

district.

?? With over 1000 children living in food deserts, strategies

such as summer and afterschool meals are important,

and sites should be targeted to where they will make the

most impact.

HISPANIC*

1,134

13.7%

OTHER**

787

12.7%

?? However, African American, Hispanic and Other residents live in food deserts at disproportionately higher

rates than white residents.

PERCENTAGE OF EACH POPULATION GROUP LIVING IN FOOD DESERTS

How to read this graph (example): Of all the children living in the 1st District, 15.2 % live in a food desert.

* Hispanic is an ethnic classification that includes all races, therefore there may be overlap between Hispanic and other racial categories

** Per US Census categories, ¡°Other¡± is a combination of American Indian, Other, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and ¡°Two or More¡±
