a Regression model is adjusted for per capita income and percent of the population living in urban areas; distance regressions (n = 2378) and density regressions (n = 2352). All numbers were rounded to two significant digits

b In the distance analyses, tribal areas refer to “tribal census tracts” as defined by the US Census including primarily the land area of federally recognized American Indian reservations or off-reservation tribal lands. In the density analyses, tribal areas refer to census tracts that contain tribal lands

c Non-tribal areas refer to matched census tracts without tribal lands that belong to counties with tribal lands

d Density of food outlets per square mile was obtained for each census tract using the kernel density estimation

e Distance is calculated as the shortest distance along the road network from the tribal census tract centroid to the closest food outlet of the respective category
