In the latter analysis we look at food insecure towns and cities across the state of Virginia. Before we dive into our examination of such towns and cities it is imperative to note that racially, the state of Virginia is dominated by Caucasian residents so any data displayed would have an accurate inference if this facet was taken into account as well. The subsequent representation was done by the procurement of data from the https://public.tableau.com website and therefore any inaccuracies could be due to the sampling done from the above platform. That said let us first identify the food insecure and the low income domains in the State of Virginia.
These nineteen towns are collaterally food insecure as well as low income in the entire state of Virginia. The town and cities in the above tabulation have Petersburg as the most food insecure region in the state of Virginia while Highland Co has the lowest among the low income cities. Among these low income towns the average rate of food desert is sixteen percent making it a state wide average. Ten distinct towns from the above graphically representation are below the statewide average making the state of Virginia having more than fifty percent of its residents living in food insecure conditions. These averages are a total representation of the Virginian demographics and do not isolate any single race or ethnicity. It also could imply that Virginia might have the largest interstate migration of its residents moving to greener pastures such as Washington or New York given the low income towns present in the vicinity and the lack of cosmopolitan opportunity. All in all Virginian administration would require targeted policy making to revamp this fundamentally challenging aspect of their economy.

Food Insecurity by Race / Ethnicity
As stated earlier, Virginia predominantly houses Caucasian residents making it a linearly tabulated data set whenever any researcher might have to do any data interpretation. With that in mind we isolated food insecure households in the state of Virginia in the same nineteen low income towns based on ethnicity, the tabulated results were as follows:
Since Caucasians are the most dominant ethnic race in the Virginia it is no wonder that food insecurity is high among them as well. Most of the nineteen low income towns that we have tabulated above are from remote locations in the state of Virginia making it highly likely that any food deserts found under such circumstance would more or less be curtailed towards the Caucasian ethnic group. In the above data set there are black and Hispanic neighborhoods that are going through the same food desert as those in other white dominant vicinities however their overall impact on the totality of the data set is negligible and the majority of the result is catered from white households. Similar to our earlier data set this tabulation was procured from https://public.tableau.com as well and graphically represented as above.
