Proximity to nearest traditional retailer in miles driving 0.9 (0.7, 1.1) 1.0 (0.8, 1.3) 0.9 (0.7, 1.2) 0.7 (0.5, 0.9) 0.7 (0.4, 1.04) 0.8 (0.5, 1.3)

Note. Bivariate logistical regression models. An odds ratio <1 means the outcome is associated with a decrease in the number of miles and an increase in proximity.
