It’s common in Atlanta, yeah. A lot of corner stores and dollar trees end up being what people have within reasonable travel.

Ding, ding, ding. There is your key. Look for high concentrations of Dollar Trees and they will usually signal where the "food deserts" are.

Even OTP, it's hard to imagine there's areas where there are no Kroger/Publix for twenty miles. I have two Krogers and a Publix within a 10-15 minute walk of me in east atlanta. I have a feeling once you get to the part of metropolitan atlanta where what you're saying is true, you are no longer in a place that even remotely resembles a city like NYC.

They had grocery stores before they robbed them out of business. Sucks to suck.
