A Lawrence survey shows North Lawrence residents face limited access to fresh affordable food. With four adjacent low income tracts lacking a mile to a full service grocery, over 3 000 are low income and 2 000 are children. Many rely on transit or carless shopping, while efforts to attract a grocery store stall. Families plan meals around trips to nearby markets, balancing cost and nutrition amid ongoing transport barriers.
U S Department of Agriculture data classify four Lawrence census tracts as food deserts with low access defined as one mile or more to a supermarket. The tracts: North Lawrence population 2,847 with 2,847 low access residents (100 percent), 1,231 low access and low income residents (43 percent), 54 low access households without vehicles (5 percent). East of Massachusetts Street north of 19th 23rd streets population 6,819 with 1,943 low access residents (29 percent), 734 low access and low income residents (11 percent), 34 low access households without vehicles (1 percent). Kasold Drive to Iowa Street Sixth Street to Interstate 70 population 5,079 with 1,753 low access residents (35 percent), 309 low access and low income residents (6 percent), 25 low access households without vehicles (1 percent).
