Household Food Security in the United States in 2022

by Matthew P. Rabbitt, Laura J. Hales, Michael P. Burke

About this book

This report estimates how consistently U.S. households could obtain enough food during 2022. Drawing on the Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement, it distinguishes levels of food security and compares results across household characteristics and earlier survey years.

The authors examine food spending, income, household composition and participation in Federal nutrition assistance programs. Charts and tables are accompanied by explanations of the survey measures and statistical comparisons. This is the complete new analysis of the 2022 data published in October 2023, with its methods, findings and references intact.
