Food deserts in Minnesota

The USDA defines a rural food desert as a low-income area, (census tract) where a significant number of residents live more than 10 miles from a big grocery store in rural areas or one mile in urban ones.
NOTE: Green areas contain both rural and urban residents and the peach areas are only urban.
