1Presented in descending order of impact on model fit (left to right), evaluated versus likelihood ratio χ2 (df). Confidence intervals are at 95% level.

2Data from the NYC Community Health Survey.

3TRO Density = number of TROs per 1000 population (outlet data from NYC Department of Consumer Affairs).

4TRO Count = total number of tobacco retail outlets in the surrounding zip code (outlet data from NYC Department of Consumer Affairs).

5Data from the American Community Survey.

6FPL < 200 = percent below 200% of the federal poverty level.

Significance levels: *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001.

Bold values indicates odds ratio (OR) for the relationship between each covariate and the proportion of menthol packs on display in each TRO.
