Healthy Paso del Norte March Health Indicator – Food Environment

March 18, 2022

This month’s Healthy Paso del Norte website indicator combines two measures of food access: the percentage of the population that is low-income and has low access to a grocery store, and the percentage of the population that did not have access to a reliable source of food during the past year (food insecurity). The index ranges from 0 (worst) to 10 (best) and equally weights the two measures.
