aExpected change per ZCTA5 area during 2000–2001.

Supermarkets are the grocery stores of > =50 employees, while small grocery stores are those of <10 employees.

Linear regression models were fitted, adjusted for total population, race/ethnicity composition categories, poverty rate tertiles,% of foreign born population tertiles, urbanization categories, total business size in 2000, the change in business size from 2000 to 2001, region.

W, B, H, M indicate significant difference from the White-, Black-, Hispanic-predominant or Mixed race/ethnicity areas; S, U indicate significant difference from suburban or urban areas; 1, 2, 3 indicate significant difference from the tertile 1, 2, or 3. (p < 0.005 to account for multiple pair-wise comparison).
