Census tracts in Dallas County, Texas, in the longitude and
latitude format (see proj4string=CRS("+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84")).
Attention: Two census tracts do not have a night time population and therefore
NA's in most of their variables. These tracts are the airports of Love Field and DFW
(see tractShp$TRACT=="48113980000" | tractShp$TRACT=="48113980100").
Spatial polygon data-frame with 529 census tracts. The variables are as follows:

Average weighted kernel density of convenience stores with a bandwith of 1500 meters. Weights are based on store's food sales volume.
Average weighted kernel density of convenience stores with a bandwith of 2000 meters. Weights are based on store's food sales volume.
Average low Log-relative risk \(log(bad1000D/good2000D)\).
Average medium Log-relative risk \(log(bad1500D/good3000D)\).
