3. Limited access to affordable, healthy foods! Stores and Fast Food Outlets in our neighborhoods do not meet standards for health. In our neighborhoods, you will often pay more for fruit and vegetables compared to the county average. Most stores selling alcohol do not comply with the State signage law (Lee’s law) Most neighborhoods are lacking safe places for play Areas around schools have high concentration of unhealthy food choices Key Neighborhood Findings

4. With just a few simple changes many stores we surveyed could raise their scores to meet the standards for a “healthy market!” Working with local markets to improve reduce marketing of unhealthy products on their doors and windows would improve safety while reducing unhealthy cues for action! Community gardens could provide opportunities for physical activity and healthy food access Opportunities for Change!
