About this map: A food desert is an area where there are no nearby options to buy fresh fruits and vegetables or other healthy foods.This map shows areas within 1 mile of supermarkets, which are likely to provide a healthy variety of food options. Areas that are not within 1 mile of grocery stores may be harder for lower income residents to access due to limited transport options. Within food desert areas often the only available food comes from smaller convenience stores that solely offer packaged food options.
