Households receiving SNAP

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

SNAP fell 2.8 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 20.6% to 17.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.8pp). 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; 9 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: snap fell 4.8 percentage points from 2013 to 2023 (22.6% to 17.8%).

Child uninsured rose 3.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 2.5% to 5.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 3 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

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.
