Methodology

Data Source:

The 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS, https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/sssd/naics/naicsrch?chart=2017) was used to identify grocery stores (that is, businesses that sell fresh food).
Establishment data was taken from the 2017 National Establishment Time Series (NETS) database.
Establishment census tracts, as well as land area per tract, were determined using the 2010 version of the US TIGER/Line shapefiles (https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2010/TRACT/2010/tl_2010_us_tract10.zip).
Census tract population figures for 2000-2010 are drawn from the NaNDA dataset Neighborhood Socioeconomic and Demographic Characteristics of Census Tracts, United States, 2000-2010 (https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/project/111107/).
Population figures for 2011-2017 were obtained from the NaNDA dataset Socioeconomic Status and Demographic Characteristics of Census Tracts, United States, 2008-2017 (https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/project/119451/).
