▼ Lower is better Real improvement
Compared against How peers are chosen →

SNAP fell 3.6 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 19.3% to 15.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 8 of the 20 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.
