A Foodscape ofThe Northeast BronxUHF Neighborhood #102 (zip codes 10466, 10469,10470, 10475)Includes parts of City Council Districts 11, 12, and 13

About FoodscapesThe DataAccess to affordable and nutritious food is one of the cornerstonesof good health. Without this, individuals—and communities—are ata higher risk of serious chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetesand heart disease. To improve the health of New Yorkers, we mustrecognize that each neighborhood has a distinct food environment.The data are presented by United Hospital Fund (UHF)neighborhoods, which are defined by the United Hospital Fund andconsist of multiple adjacent zip codes. UHF neighborhoods arecommonly used in research, including the New York City Departmentof Health and Mental Hygiene’s Community Health Survey.PurposeThe reports also specify the City Council Districts that are part ofeach UHF, and districts often span several UHF neighborhoods.Council members and residents can then view the distinctneighborhoods within their districts, to compare and contrast boththe needs and assets within each area. Recognizing that UHFneighborhoods are an imperfect way to capture council districtsholistically, the hope is that future updates to the reports will use datamore specific to each district.This Foodscape provides a community-level snapshot of thatenvironment, including data on healthy and unhealthy foodconsumption, food access, and nutrition-related diseases.Additionally, the report details a sampling of the many resourcesavailable to residents within their neighborhoods to support them ineating healthier.Foodscape: The Northeast Bronx 2
