Food insecurity rates differ across States due to both the characteristics of their populations and to State-level policies and economic conditions. The estimated prevalence of food insecurity during 2021–23 ranged from 7.4 percent of households in New Hampshire to 18.9 percent in Arkansas (data for 2021–23 were combined to provide more reliable statistics at the State level).
