Summary In this series of stories, The York Daily Record used mapping software and census databases available to look at the various supermarkets accessible in the City of York and across the county. The reporters found out that the rate of grocery stores per 10,000 people was only 0.24 where the selection was not only limited but priced really high. The reporters used Arc View and the 2000 census database to create a layout of the area they were looking at.
