Wards 7 and 8 have only four grocery stores between them (up from three in 2018), meaning that each grocery store serves tens of thousands of people. This is double any other ward of the District.
Unless otherwise noted, data shown is based on the most recently available data which for most measures is the 2015-2019 5-year average (previous data 2010-2014). Individuals who are Black and Latinx may be counted in both groups.
