Food Environment Atlas

Mapping Food Access, Availability, and Community Health Nationwide

Food environment factors—such as store and restaurant proximity, availability of local foods, food and nutrition assistance programs, and community characteristics—interact to influence food choices and diet quality.

The objectives of the Food Environment Atlas are:

• to provide a spatial overview of a community's ability to access healthy food and its success in doing so, and
• to assemble statistics on food environment indicators to stimulate research on the determinants of food choices and diet quality.
