Louisville has been ranked number two (behind Orlando) in The Consumerist’s Top 10 Cities With The Highest Fast Food Saturation list.
Total fast food restaurants: 377
Fast food restaurants per 100,000 residents: 147.1
Most prominent chain: Subway
This may not be surprising to anyone who has followed Louisville’s ongoing fight against food deserts–areas where access to fresh food is limited.

This has a lot to do with economics. Economics as reflected in education levels and ability to buy choice and healthy foods. If there were no market for fast foods there would not be as many outlets. Education and economics determine this demand to a large degree.
