Access to healthy foods is measured as the percent of zip codes in a county with a healthy food outlet, defined as a grocery store or produce stand/farmers’ market.
The measure is based on data from the US Census Bureau’s Zip Code Business Patterns (2006). Healthy food outlets include grocery stores with more than four employees and produce/farmers’ markets, as defined by their North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes.
Studies have linked the food environment to consumption of healthy food and overall health outcomes.
