Mapping the urban food environment

For the last couple of years we've been at CRSSA with the Center for State Health Policy (CSHP) to map out and compare a variety of elements in the food environment of 5 New Jersey cities: Trenton, New Brunswick, Newark, Vineland and Camden. As one of the first outcomes of the project, these maps have been assembled as chart books along with BMI data from schools in those same cities and are now available online. A special thanks goes to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for their generous support of this project.

Since the CSHP link might have some temporal issues, I also offer these direct links to the map and chart books:
