Food Swamp Areas

A “food swamp” refers to areas where unhealthy food options like fast food and convenience stores vastly outnumber healthier alternatives like grocery stores and farmers markets. These areas, often overlapping with food deserts, are characterized by a high ratio of unhealthy food outlets to healthy ones, leading to increased health risks such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Food swamps are prevalent in urban areas with low-income populations, especially in the South and Southeast U.S., including parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama​( FIELDNOTES )​( CCThin ). Maps of food swamp areas in the U.S. can be found through resources like the USDA’s Food Environment Atlas, which allows users to explore geographic patterns of food access and availability across the country. Additionally, research from organizations like Duke University’s World Food Policy Center highlights the stronger predictive link between food swamps and obesity compared to food deserts​( World Food Policy Center ). To explore these maps further, you can visit the USDA’s Food Environment Atlas or resources from health and policy centers that focus on food equity.
