C. Lack of residential consumers to support a profitable grocery store

Urban food deserts are areas in cities where residents do not have easy access to affordable and nutritious food options, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. One of the main causes of urban food deserts is the lack of residential consumers to support a profitable grocery store in the area. Without enough demand for a grocery store, larger chains may be hesitant to open a location in these areas, making it difficult for residents to access healthy food options.
