"Families in predominantly minority and low-income neighborhoods have limited access to supermarkets and fresh produce. A study of selected communities found that only 8 percent of African American residents lived in areas with one or more supermarkets, compared with 31 percent of White residents. When compared with other neighborhoods, without regard to income, predominantly Black neighborhoods have the most limited access to supermarkets and to the healthier foods such markets sell."
