Table 2.

Store closings and openings as a function of store type and census tract demographics in six metropolitan statistical areas after 16 months.

Percent of residents ages 5–17 0.90 (0.69, 1.19) 1.09 (0.91, 1.31)
Percent of residents ages 18–24 0.81 (0.63, 1.05) 0.87 (0.75, 1.00)

Note: Cell entries are adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals from a multilevel model. Models excluded three stores in census tracts that were missing data for median household income. OTP = Other Tobacco Products.

a

Includes stores that were open at follow-up and still selling vape products (n = 645) and closed for business (n = 85) between baseline and follow-up, with the exception of 3 stores in tracts with missing data for median household income. Stores (n = 9) that were open at follow-up but stopped selling vape products were not included in this analysis.

b

Includes new stores since baseline and baseline stores open at follow-up, except 3 stores with missing data.

c

Closings = store type measured at baseline; Openings = store type measured at follow-up.

d

Standardized within the metropolitan statistical area (MSA).
