Unequal Access

SAVI Talks - June 2017

Tobacco retailers are concentrated in areas with higher poverty, higher proportions of people of color, and lower educational attainment.

On June 29 The Polis Center and WFYI hosted a public conversation on the impact of tobacco usage to population health, local economics, and public policy. Program highlights included the presentation of findings from the report, Unequal Access: Tobacco Retail in the Indianapolis Metro Area, produced by The Polis Center at IUPUI for the SAVI Community Information System. It serves as a companion piece to the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health’s September 2016 Report on the Tobacco Epidemic in Marion County and Indiana. 

The full report explores how health, economic, demographic factors relate to tobacco retail density. Our research finds that tobacco retailers are concentrated in areas with higher poverty, higher proportions of people of color, and lower educational attainment. These areas also have higher maternal smoking rates and estimated adult smkoing rates.
