  • Based on Census data from 2000. This table focuses only on the urban population because the vast majority of retail clinics are located in urban areas. Retail clinic catchment areas were defined as those census blocks within a 5-minute driving distance around any clinic. Data provided as n (%), except for median household income.

  • * Insurance rates were obtained at the county level and then applied to the census tract.
