The data are primarily from U.S. government sources ( U.S. Census, NOAA, CDC, U.S. DOT, Homeland Security and U.S. BLS), with additional data on air quality and smoking prevalence taken from academic sources. Data were processed so that they all used a 6 digit identifier composed of the state FIPS followed by an underscore, followed by the county FIPS (e.g. "49_013"). These were then linked to a shapefile which used the same county identification system.

Supplementary Information files for Urban physical food environments drive dietary behaviours in Ghana and Kenya: A photovoice study We identified factors in the physical food environment that influence dietary behaviours among low-income dwellers in three African cities (Nairobi, Accra, Ho). We used Photovoice with 142 males/females (≥13 years). In the neighbourhood environment, poor hygiene, environmental sanitation, food contamination and adulteration were key concerns. Economic access was perceived as a major barrier to accessing nutritionally safe and healthy foods. Home gardening supplemented household nutritional needs, particularly in Nairobi. Policies to enhance food safety in neighbourhood environments are required. Home gardening, food pricing policies and social protection schemes could reduce financial barriers to safe and healthy diets.
