Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: green tracts improved, red tracts moved the wrong way. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.

Households receiving SNAP

▼ Lower is better Worsening
Compared against How peers are chosen →

SNAP rose 2.0 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 3.6% to 5.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 10 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Worsening beyond the survey margin, 2014-2018 vs 2019-2023 surveys; 17 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: snap fell 0.7 percentage points from 2013 to 2023 (6.2% to 5.5%).

Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins.

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.
