Abstract: USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) provides a glimpse into neighborhood access to supermarkets and other large stores that offer a variety of affordable food through its Food Access Research Atlas (FARA). With a recent update to the atlas, users can now map low-income and other census tracts in the United States using different measures of accessibility to supermarkets in 2019 and can compare the results with those in 2015. Users may also download the data to analyze State, county, and additional demographic information on food access.
