It refers to locations where at least 1/3 of the population according to census live farther than 1 mile from fresh produce and whole foods. 10 miles if it's a rural area. As to why the grocery stores failed and pulled out, that's a good question.

It's the type of location where someone might actually bitch about the cost to feed a family of four at a fast food joint to bring it back around again.
