GIS 4930 - Open Source GIS - Food Desert Analysis

This module invovled using QGIS to create a map displaying food deserts in Pensacola, Florida as a preparation for creating a similar analysis for another region in the coming weeks. We were given the data that was used to process the map below, which displays food deserts and food oases in Pensacola, FL based on distance from grocery stores. Using US census tracts, a tract was determined to be 'desertified' if it's centroid was over a mile away from a grocery store.
