Abstract
The purpose of this study was to make a gritty examination of the availability
of Healthy food in Sedgwick County using the availability of time and the geographical
location. Initially, the hours of stores in Sedgwick County and their GPS coordinates
were documented using Google Maps data. Using this information, we calculated the
distance between the centroid of the nearest census tract and the store. Further, we
evaluated a Spatio-temporal accessibility measure in which we found out the number of
stores within 2 miles of every census tract for different slots a day throughout the week.
To show our findings graphically, we made a heatmap of the data using the Microsoft
teams. Ultimately, our fundamental outcomes show that healthy food was broadly
accessible during the busiest shopping times for more metropolitan census tracts.
Whereas the rural regions experienced significantly longer drive times to get healthy
food.
