Data Update: Food Desert Maps
0
The 2015 Food Access Research Atlas (FARA) food desert data are now available in the Community Commons Maproom.
Released as a set in early 2017, the FARA data provide communities across the nation with an updated look at food access and, more importantly, a view of how food deserts have changed since 2010. The FARA is a compliment to the USDA’s Food Environment Atlas, which houses county-level food related data.
Layers in this recent release include:
- Food Desert Census Tracts, 2015
- Change in Food Desert Census Tracts, 2010-2015
- Population with Limited Food Access, Children (Age 0-17), 2015
- Population with Limited Food Access, 2015
- Population with Limited Food Access, Low Income, 2015
- Population with Limited Food Access, No Vehicle, 2015
- Population with Limited Food Access, Senior (Age 65+), 2015
