According to this data, I live in a "food desert", which I find odd because I have at least 3 supermarkets within 2-3 miles of my house, with fast food under-represented relative to nearby non-"food desert" areas. Granted, I do live near the edge of the zone, and the area within the zone has relatively few markets primarily due to it being residential neighborhoods that were built in the pre-supermarket era. Relatively few restaurants of all types as well for the same reason, though there are plenty in the more recently developed adjacent areas.
