- Remember that the individuals from Mattapan were surveyed at a farmers’ market, which will be skewing some of these numbers (eg, organic, local) higher than they would otherwise probably be in a more representative sample of the residents in these neighborhoods. Overall, organic and local scored low.
- There were other reasons they could choose from (eg, inconvenient hours, no child/family care, hard to get there, poor condition) but these are the main ones that people said. Safety is a key concern but limited access/limited physical activity experiences may affect choices.
