Food Deserts in America, County by County

Based on a 2009 Department of Agriculture study, the darker, high percentage areas of the map are the so-called food deserts, where the easiest source of food may be at pricey and unhealthy convenience stores. It's a widespread problem in the South, and in parts of the South- and Midwest as well.
