This study analyzed associations between tobacco outlet density and demographic correlates (median household income and minority population percentages) within two New Jersey counties. The study was conducted using variables developed from state licenses for tobacco outlets and data from residential census tracts. Results showed that tracts with lower median household income and higher percentages of minority residents had greater densities of tobacco-selling retail outlets. Results also demonstrated that median household income was the strongest predictor of tobacco outlet density across both counties. Implications of the study and directions for future research, specifically the interaction between income and race/ethnicity, are discussed.
本研究分析了新泽西州两个县内烟草销售点密度与人口统计学相关因素（家庭收入中位数和少数族裔人口百分比）之间的关联。该研究使用了从烟草销售点的州许可证中提取的变量以及住宅普查区的数据。结果显示，家庭收入中位数较低且少数族裔居民百分比较高的区域，烟草零售点的密度更大。结果还表明，家庭收入中位数是两个县烟草销售点密度的最强预测指标。本文讨论了该研究的意义以及未来研究的方向，特别是收入与种族/族裔之间的相互作用。
