Households receiving SNAP

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

SNAP fell 6.0 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 16.9% to 10.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 6 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, 2014-2018 vs 2019-2023 surveys; 13 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: snap fell 1.8 percentage points from 2013 to 2023 (12.7% to 10.9%).

Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.
