Many urban areas in the United States suffer both from a lack of access to supermarkets and healthy food and from an overabundance of affordable and convenient unhealthy food options. As a result, many public schools are within walking distance of fast-food restaurants and convenience stores. Colorado Springs in El Paso County is not an easily traversable city and as a result is particularly affected by such food issues. This study seeks to measure the number of unhealthy food options within a walking distance of all the public schools in El Paso County and measure how such numbers are associated with variables representative of the ethnic and socioeconomic demographics of each school. By use of GIS maps and comparison of means tests this study demonstrated a significant difference in the mean number of minority students in a school zone with one or more fast-food restaurant or one or more convenience store, and the mean number of minority students in school zones with neither. A significant difference was also found in the mean number of students on free or reduced lunch in school zones with one or more fast food restaurant or one or more convenience store, and the mean number of students on free or reduced lunch in school zones with neither.
