RINCON & ASSOCIATES LAUNCHES STUDY OF ACCESS TO FOOD PROVIDERS IN DALLAS COUNTY
(October 28, 2024) Much like the 3,143 counties in the U.S., Dallas County, Texas has endured a history of segregated food distribution practices that have resulted in the creation of over 6,500 food deserts in the U.S. that do not provide healthy food choices to the predominantly lower-income African Americans and Latinos that reside in these communities. According to the Department of Agriculture, Dallas County currently includes about 90 food deserts with over half of these located in Southern Dallas, a community that is populated primarily by lower-income African Americans and Latinos. While many factors contribute to the persistence of these food deserts, it is generally recognized that recent industry trends have made things more difficult for the average consumer — including continued price gouging on foods following the pandemic, the growth of dollar stores that discourage investment by mainstream supermarkets, the closure of many food providers that are unable to compete with larger food chains, and a general indifference by public agencies to sponsor research that could identify viable solutions in negatively impact communities. As a consequence, the food distribution system remains largely segregated along race and economic strata. At Rincon & Associates, we believe that we have a unique solution to the persistence of food deserts in Dallas County, and perhaps other counties like Dallas that have been unable to eliminate their segregated food distribution system.
