This report features data from a 2012 retail audit of the Crotona-Tremont neighborhood. Auditors found that for every supermarket in the neighborhood, there were four fast food restaurants and ten bodegas. They assessed the products sold, promotional placement, and advertising in retail establishments, finding that unhealthy snacks were heavily promoted at bodegas and supermarkets and sugary drinks, alcohol, and tobacco were the most-advertised items.
