Households receiving SNAP

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

SNAP fell 3.3 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 15.6% to 12.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp).

Broader trend
20% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 13% moved the other way. Wyoming started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
Longer view
Snap fell 4.2 percentage points from 2013 to 2023 (16.5% to 12.2%).

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.

▸ Where is this changing? 17 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.

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.
