On April 5th, streetsense.org referenced D.C. Policy Center Fellow Randy Smith’s piece on Food Deserts in Washington D.C. in a piece titled “Study: Higher Frequency of Food Deserts in D.C.”
“Food-insecure areas make up about 11 percent of the total area of the District and exist in areas of poverty, according to a new report by D.C. Policy Center.”
“The D.C. Policy Center study used criteria that specified distance from sources of healthy food, access to transportation and median household income.”
