Percentage of people with food insecurity

Caption

This visual represents the weighted percentage of food insecurity by age group, race/ethnicity and gender. Non-Hispanic Black males aged 25-39 years had the highest food insecurity rate among all groups. The Non-Hispanic Black population also had the highest percentage of data missing for food insecurity questions, suggesting food insecurity may be underestimated in this group.
