Objective.

To examine the availability of marijuana stores in Colorado and associations with neighborhood characteristics.

Methods.

The addresses for 650 medical and recreational marijuana stores were geocoded and linked to the characteristics of 1249 census tracts in Colorado.

Accounting for spatial autocorrelations, autologistic regressions were used to quantify the associations of census tract socioeconomic characteristics with the availability of marijuana stores.

Results.

Regardless of store types, marijuana stores were more likely to locate in neighborhoods that had a lower proportion of young people, had a higher proportion of racial and ethnic minority population, had a lower household income, had a higher crime rate, or had a greater density of on-premise alcohol outlets.

The availability of medical and recreational marijuana stores was differentially correlated with household income and racial and ethnic composition.

Conclusions.

Neighborhood disparities existed in the availability of marijuana stores, and associations between availability of stores and neighborhood characteristics varied by store types.

This study highlighted the need for regulatory measures to prevent marijuana related outcomes in high risk neighborhoods.
