This dataset contains Access and Proximity to Grocery Store metrics displayed in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Environment Atlas website, including store/restaurant proximity, food prices, food and nutrition assistance programs, and community characteristics — factors which interact to influence food choices and diet quality. These interactions are complex and more research is needed to identify causal relationships and effective policy interventions.

The Atlas is based on 2010 census tract polygons. To use the underlying Atlas data in a GIS, the data from this spreadsheet needs to be joined to a census tract boundary file. With ESRI software, users should have access to the tract layer on ESRI's "Data and Maps" data distribution. For users of other software, tract boundaries can be downloaded directly from the Census Bureau's Cartographic Boundary Files. The underlying map services used in the Food Access Research Atlas are also available for both developers and GIS users. See the Geospatial API documentation for more information.

This dataset contains Food Assistance metrics displayed in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Environment Atlas website, including statistics for SNAP, National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Summer Food Service Program, WIC, FDPIR, and food banks. USDA's domestic food and nutrition assistance programs affect the daily lives of millions of people, with about one in four Americans participating in at least one program at some point during a given year. These programs represent a significant investment, accounting for over two-thirds of USDA's annual budget.
