Here are some statistics on hunger in the USA:
Number of people facing hunger: According to the USDA, in 2022, over 44 million people (or 1 in 8 households) in the US struggled with hunger. Feeding America reports that 49 million people relied on charitable food assistance in 2022.
Children and hunger: The statistics are particularly stark for children. Feeding America says 1 in 5 children are in households facing hunger [2]. The Food Research & Action Center reports that in 2022, over 1 in 6 households with children experienced food insecurity.
Severity of hunger: The USDA differentiates between food insecurity and very low food security. In 2022, 5.1% of households (or 1 in 20) experienced very low food security, meaning they regularly skipped meals or reduced food intake due to lack of resources.
Hunger and location: Hunger rates are higher in rural areas (14.7%) compared to metro areas (12.5%) [3]. The South has the highest food insecurity rate (14.5%) compared to other regions.
These are just some statistics that paint a picture of the prevalence of hunger in the United States.
