The Self-Sufficiency Standard determines the amount of income required for working families to meet basic needs at a minimally adequate level, taking into account family composition, ages of children, and geographic differences in costs. This does not include public subsidies or informal/private assistance.. Eligibility criterion for food and other federal supplement programs and benefits varies by household size, based on a percentage of the Federal Poverty Level. 3. Supermarkets are large-format grocery stores with all food departments present, including produce, meats, seafood, canned goods and packaged goods. Supermarkets are typically chain stores; these stores have annual sales of $ million or more and have 3 or more cash registers.. The Small Food Stores category includes small-format stores in the following categories: convenience stores (gas station and chain stores), small grocery stores, and international food stores.. The Convenience Stores category includes a variety of stores that sell food products, but food is not their main business. These stores include chain convenience stores, gas station convenience stores, pharmacies, and discount/dollar stores. They are typically chain operated. 6. Small Grocery Stores, sometimes called mom & pop stores or corner stores, are small format grocery stores that are typically independently owned and operated. They have annual sales of less than $ million and have limited food departments. 7. Behind Glass Corner Stores are stores meet the same criteria as the Small Grocery/ Corner Store category, but all of the goods for sale and the clerk are physically behind plexiglass. As there are over of these stores in Baltimore, CLF chose to identify them in a distinct category. These data are from The Other Food Stores category include Conventional Club stores (i.e. BJ s), Military Commissaries, mixed markets, and public markets. 9. Baltimore Food Deserts are defined by CLF as an area where the distance to a supermarket or supermarket alternative is more than / mile, the median household income is at or below 8% of the Federal Poverty Level, over 3% of households have no vehicle available, and the average Healthy Food Availability Index (HFAI) score for all food stores is low.. USDA Food Deserts are defined as low-income census tracts where residents are >. miles (urban) or > miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket.. Feeding America s Map the Meal Gap s food insecurity rates are determined using data from the -3 Current Population Survey on individuals in food insecure house-

7 7 Baltimore City Food Systems Profile holds; 9-3 American Community Survey five year estimates on median household incomes, poverty rates, homeownership, and race and ethnic demographics; and 3 American Community Survey one year estimates on unemployment rates.. The average dollar amount spent on food/week by food secure individuals is divided by (3 meals per day x 7 days per week) weighted by the cost-of-food index to derive a localized estimate. Food expenditures for food secure individuals were used to ensure that the result best reflected the cost of an adequate diet. 3. Farms that grow food in Baltimore City. These farms range in size and by type of products produced, and by farming practices. They differ from community gardens, as the food is grown for sale, not personal consumption. The list is derived from online research, last updated in summer.. The Baltimore Farm Alliance is a network of farmers in Baltimore City who share resources and abide by a set of common farm practices and standards. There are other Baltimore Farm Alliance members who are not included in these data because they do not grow food for consumption.. Food processing and distribution facility lists were derived from multiple federal, state and county level food permit lists. Categories of food processing facilities, slaughter facilities, and distribution and storage facilities are neither mutually exclusive nor an exhaustive list of every possible type of facility. 6. Baltimore City Schools use a different program for funding breakfast in the classroom. 7. Data for crop and livestock dust emissions of Particulate Matter <. microns (PM.). 8. The number of watersheds comprises all watersheds present in the county, including those that cross county borders. Symbols (U) Data unavailable *Many Maryland counties (and Baltimore City) do not have any data or locations in this category, making the County Ranking for this category deceptively high for counties that have a value of. For example, there are only dairy cow CAFOs in Maryland so any county with CAFOs is tied for th place. Data for Baltimore City only
