Farmer's Market vs. Income
After analyzing the map, it is apparent that there is a relationship between income and number of farmers markets in an area, but it does not always apply. For instance, in the southwestern region of San Diego, downtown San Diego, there is an area of low income. Most people there receive around $22,863-$37,559. There are about 15 farmers markets concentrated in that area alone. North from that area, there are considerably less farmers markets throughout the area. In that area, the median income is higher; it ranges from $49,563 to up to $212,254. Although this area seems to follow the relationship stated above, it receives more income and has less farmers markets, it has more farmers markets than the north eastern area. The northeastern area has very little farmers markets. It has only about two or three. However, this makes sense because this area does not have many people. It’s logical that an area with more people, such as downtown San Diego, would have more farmers markets than an area with much less people, such as in the mountains.
