Food insecurity is a major issue in the United States, affecting millions of people. According to the latest data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in 2020, an estimated 38.3 million people (11.7% of the total U.S. population) lived in households that were food insecure at some point during the year. This was an increase from 35.2 million people (10.5% of the total U.S. population) in 2019.
Of those 38.3 million people, 10.5 million were children (13.9% of all U.S. children), an increase from 9.4 million children (11.8% of all U.S. children) in 2019.
The USDA has reported that food insecurity rates were significantly higher in 2020 compared to pre-pandemic levels, and it is likely that food insecurity will remain a significant issue for many households in the coming years.
