Food environment exposure: Number of observations = 798 500; residual df = 39 965. R squared = 0·46.
Market concentration: Number of observations = 948 571; residual df = 47 486. R squared = 0·74.
The impact of the Hispanic proportion was assessed in a separate model with the same outcome and control variables.
