Dollar Stores and Food Access for Rural Households in the United States, 2008-2020

Wenhui Feng et al.

Summary: Dollar stores have rapidly expanded their food offerings, which brings concerns about their high calorie and low nutrient content, especially in areas with food access challenges. However, there is limited empirical evidence on the impact of this expansion on household food purchases on a national scale. Using data from a nationally representative panel, the study found that dollar stores were the fastest-growing food retailers in terms of household expenditure share, playing a significant role in food-at-home purchases for disadvantaged and rural communities. Further research is needed to understand the quality of the foods offered by dollar stores and their potential effects on diet-related health outcomes.

Geographic Boundary Definitions and the Robustness of Common Food Retail Environment Measures

Benjamin Scharadin et al.

Summary: Understanding the relationship between the retail food environment and health outcomes is crucial for addressing diet-related diseases, but studies using different boundary definitions have shown inconsistent results. Administrative boundary measures of the food environment differ statistically from other boundary definitions, while Euclidean distance and network area boundary definitions show general similarities. Only a small portion of food-at-home purchases occur within households' own census tract boundary, suggesting limitations in boundary definitions and mobility in food acquisition.

Summary: The relationship between perceived barriers to purchasing healthy foods and the local retail food environment is influenced by unobserved heterogeneity. Improving access to healthy foods may only partially mitigate negative perceptions associated with one's food environment.
