One path forward may entail recognizing the multiple ways in which individuals value and interact with their food environment, rather than elevating a single optimized rationality defined primarily through nutrition and cost.

The iconic 'food desert' image of Detroit was generated by many national media outlets whose reporters spent a short amount of time to churn out another sad story about the city's decline.

These issues of food access and food security need to be systematically addressed by more than a few new grocery stores.

Whole Foods Community Outreach & Median Income in Detroit

I had to crawl the internet to pull together a list of events that occurred between Aug 2012 through Aug 2013. I found events on the Whole Foods website, Whole Foods facebook page, and from groups that hosted Whole Foods workshops or tables.

It’s clear that there is a large cluster around the store location as a majority of the events happened at their main location. It is then fairly clear to see that Whole Foods outreach was focused in Detroit’s higher income census tracts (Downtown and Far Westside) once the Midtown cluster of events is removed.
