Food chances trajectories according to the number of groups, shapes, and BIC

Food Chances Category	Number of groups	Trajectory shapes1	BIC2 (N = 24)
Healthy Food Chances	2	1 1	1.1
	2	1 2	8.3
	2	2 1	10.3
	2	2 2	17.9
	2	3 3	24.7
	2	4 4	32.5
Unhealthy Food Chances	2	4 4	-26.9
	3	1 1 4	26.6
	2	4 1	-30.5
	3	1 1 4	51.66
	2	1 4	-53.1

¹Trajectory shapes: 1 = linear; 2 = quadratic; 3 = cubic; 4 = quartic

²BIC = Bayesian information criterion (for the total number of Sub-boroughs)

^*One or more of the groups had a very small proportion of the observations.

^*The food ecology is described concerning food chances to reflect the sociological construct of habitus that provides insights to obesogenic environments by focusing on the interplay between food chances and food choices. Food chances are the food establishments available in a neighborhood.
