With the exception of urban/suburban/rural, for each demographic characteristic, disparities are calculated as the difference in mean log retailer density for high-prevalence versus low-prevalence census tracts. For urban/suburban/rural, comparisons are made relative to urban census tracts. Lower values from baseline indicate the disparity is reduced.
Bold values indicate that the median value of the disparity in a given policy approach is significantly different from the baseline disparity.
*A policy that was implemented at random (250 times) to explore the potential variation (statistical uncertainty) of carrying out this strategy. The table provides the median value over the 250 randomizations.
