About this book

This report measures U.S. households’ access to enough food during 2018. It presents national estimates of food insecurity and very low food security using the Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement.

Detailed tables examine differences by income, household composition and other characteristics, as well as food spending and participation in nutrition assistance programs. The authors explain the survey measures and statistical comparisons behind the findings. Published in September 2019, this complete annual analysis preserves all original findings, tables and methodological notes.
