About the Data Insights
Prior to COVID-19, it was estimated that 1 in 9 people in the US were food insecure and lacked consistent access to enough food and nutritious options. Food insecurity, while tied to poverty, is also impacted by other social determinants of health, including access to transportation, housing and social isolation. As people practice social distancing and quarantine, many are faced with new challenges accessing and affording food.
