Retail availability is an important determinant of community health. Being within walking distance of neighborhood retail improves access to daily goods and services, promotes physical activity, reduces vehicle trips and miles traveled, promotes small business development, increases opportunities for social interaction, and reduces crime by increasing street use and natural surveillance[i]. Additionally, increasing neighborhood serving retail can grow tax revenue, which can be invested back into the neighborhood. Research shows that existing residents may have a positive response to new retail if it provides desired goods and services that were previously unavailable, while causing minimal displacement of existing neighborhood retail.[ii] At the same time, it may also signal to existing residents that the neighborhood is changing and that displacement pressures are rising.
