SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (17.5% then, 19.3% now; margin ±2.6pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

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

▸ Where is this changing? 16 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.

What changed

Working parents changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (46.3% then, 54.0% now; margin ±9.1pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
