title: Individual Access to Healthy Food: an analysis of food access in suburban and urban United States
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This thesis analyses the individual access to healthy food in the United States by exploring the question to what extent spatial differences between urban and suburban areas, such as differences in density, can influence individual access to healthy food. Reduced healthy food access can have negative health consequences, making it important to know which factors influence this. Previous research has revealed that food deserts exist in the United States. These are areas where inhabitants have a reduced access to healthy food. In this thesis the effects of
this reduced access to healthy food on the individual level are compared between suburban and urban areas. This distinction is important as the traditional concentration of poverty in urban areas in the United States is slowly changing while poverty levels rise in suburban areas.
