2015 FOOD ENVIRONMENT 1ST DISTRICT
WHAT IS A FOOD DESERT?
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.
PERCENTAGE OF EACH POPULATION GROUP LIVING IN FOOD DESERTS
FOOD DESERT FACTORS
POPULATIONS LIVING IN FOOD DESERTSKEY FOOD DESERT INFORMATION
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”
• 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.
• However, African American, Hispanic and Other resi-dents live in food deserts at disproportionately higher rates than white residents.
• The 1st District has the most supermarkets of any District, 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.

2015 FOOD ENVIRONMENT 2ND DISTRICT
• The 2nd District has a relatively low percentage of resi-dents living in food deserts, but the food deserts are concentrated in more population-dense areas.
• African American, Hispanic and Other residents live in food deserts at disproportionately higher rates than white residents.
• There are many food assistance programs in the district, but none located in food deserts.
• Strategically working with the cornerstores in the Parkside neighborhood could provide easier access to affordable food for residents living in the food desert.

• There are no food deserts within the boundaries of the 3rd District, however, the district borders food deserts in several places, and some residents may still struggle to access healthy food.
• A quarter of residents – nearly 10,000 people – in the 3rd District live at or below 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level.
• Approximately 11 percent of residents do not have access to a vehicle. For some these residents, accessing healthy food may be a significant challenge as almost all food sources are concentrated along Harford Road and not distributed throughout the district.
• Over 70 percent of stores in the district have a low Healthy Food Availability Index score, the highest percentage city-wide.
• Because there are several supermarkets in the district, the demand may be low for smaller stores to carry healthier products.

WHAT IS A FOOD DESERT?
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.

FOOD DESERT FACTORS
POPULATIONS LIVING IN FOOD DESERTSKEY FOOD DESERT INFORMATION
* 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”
How to read this graph (example): Of all the children living in the 5th District, 12.4% live in a food desert.

• While the percentage of residents living in food deserts is relatively low compared to the city average, much of the 5th District borders food deserts.
• African Americans live in food deserts at disproportion-ately higher rates than other races/ethnicities – more than four times higher than white residents in the 5th District.
• There are high concentrations of corner stores and convenience stores in and around the food deserts in the 5th District, and very little food retail in the central and east parts of the district.
• More than one third of the district’s population lives at or below 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level.
• Over half of the stores in the 5th District have very low Healthy Food Availability Index scores.

WHAT IS A FOOD DESERT?
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.

* 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”

• Over 4,000 children live in a food desert in the 10th District, and children make up one third of all residents in 10th District food deserts.
• African Americans live in food deserts at disproportion-ately higher rates than other racial/ethnic groups.
• There are many supermarkets just across the county line and residents may be leaving Baltimore City to shop for healthy food.
• The 10th District could improve its food deserts by increasing the HFAI scores of some of its corner stores.

• Children and seniors live in food deserts at disproportion-ate rates in 11th District.
• African Americans live in food deserts at disproportion-ately higher rates than other racial/ethnic groups, and are nearly five times more likely to live in a food desert than a white resident of the 11th District.
• There are several supermarkets in the midst of the food deserts in the northern region of the 11th District are essentially “preventing” food deserts, meaning that within a quarter mile of these stores there are areas that meet the three other food desert factors— high poverty, low vehicle availability and low availability of healthy food.

WHAT IS A FOOD DESERT?
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.

* 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”
How to read this graph (example): Of all the children living in the 13th District, 25.6% live in a food desert.

• African Americans live in food deserts at disproportion-ately higher rates than other racial/ethnic groups, and are twice as likely to live in a food desert as a white resident of the 13th District.
• Nearly half of all residents live at or below 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level.
• There is a high concentration of corner stores in the McElderry Park area, bordering food deserts.
