From the University of Alabama Institute for Human Right, "Food Insecurity in Birmingham, AL" [1]:
> In Alabama alone, close to two million residents live in a food desert, and almost 150,000 of them live in Birmingham. This accounts for 69% of the city’s total population. A 2019 update also found that there is at least one area that is identified as a food desert in each of Birmingham’s nine City Council Districts.
The University of Alabama's Innovation for Rural Alabama site has some information on food deserts in rural Alabama [2].
