HOPE Data by Indicator.

Counties with low liquor store density are defined as those with fewer than 1.77 liquor stores per 10,000 population

Indicator Summary Score

100

NOT AVAILABLE

Numbers listed on the maps are indicator summary scores, which measure how far a state has to go to meet the HOPE Goal (Distance to Goal) and how much variation there is across racial and ethnic groups within the state on the measure (Racial Inequity). Scores range from 0 to 100 with 100 indicating the state with the best combined performance. Hovering over a state reveals information on Distance to Goal and Racial Inequity separately.

Why it Matters.

Having low liquor store density is likely to decrease rates of alcohol consumption, violent crimes, and intimate partner violence in the surrounding population.

Indicator Summary

American Indian/Alaska Native populations are the most likely to live in low liquor store density areas (i.e., with fewer than 1.77 liquor stores per 10,000 people) with 93% doing so.
Hispanic populations are the least likely to live in areas with low liquor store density with 78% of Hispanics doing so.
Four Western states (Washington, Utah, New Mexico, and Nevada) and three Southern states (West Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana) fare better on this indicator ranking among the top ten states with residents living in low liquor store density areas.
Five Northeastern states (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Vermont) and three Southern states (Delaware, District of Columbia, and Maryland) fare poorly on this indicator ranking among the bottom ten states with residents living in low liquor store density areas.
