The 70807 zip code is classified as a food desert, with limited access to supermarkets and grocery stores. Residents often rely on convenience stores that lack fresh produce, contributing to poor nutrition and health outcomes.
The poverty rate in 70807 is approximately 41%, with a median household income of $27,500, well below the national median of $68,700. High poverty levels exacerbate food insecurity, as many families cannot afford sufficient, healthy food.
