Indices of food desert and accessibility to food shops

The food desert is a sector offering poor access to food stores (grocery stores, supermarkets and public markets), i.e. a distribution area (AD) in which residences are located on average more than 1 kilometer from a food store in urban areas and more than 16 kilometers in rural areas, and characterized by very high material deprivation (quintile 5).

Accessibility to food stores is a quantitative measure used to assess the geographic ease of access with which individuals or populations can access food stores (grocery stores, supermarkets, and public markets) from where they live.

For more information on the food desert index, you can consult * [Identifying Food Deserts] (https://www.inspq.qc.ca/boite-a-outils-cooperative-alimentaire/identification-deserts) *.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
