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

SNAP rose 8.9 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 12.2% to 21.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 9 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; 16 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: snap rose 7.3 percentage points from 2013 to 2023 (13.8% to 21.1%).

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins.

Cost burden fell 4.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 48.9% to 44.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.3pp). None of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 8 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: cost burden fell 10.1 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (54.0% to 44.0%).

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.

Where is this changing? 27 census tracts
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. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.
