There are over twenty thousand grocery stores in New York State, if we use shades to represent the magnitude of the number of grocery stores, the distribution of colors gets increasingly lighter from southern to northern New York, which is not a surprise due to the vast disparities among New York's different regions.

Although accessibility in population centers is overall satisfying, there are still 5 population centers, out of 16 in total, having less than 1 grocery store per capita per square kilometer. They are Erie, Monroe, Orange, Suffolk and Onondaga. Among the 62 counties, Hamilton, which has the lowest population density has 0.12 store per capita per square meter, ranks the least on the list.
