SNAP rose 1.5 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 0.2% to 1.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 3 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

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.
