Share of food secure and insecure individuals in the U.S. 2022, by race and ethnicity

This statistic shows the shares of food-secure and food-insecure individuals in the United States in 2022 by race and ethnicity. At that time, 89.6 percent of people living in the United States lived in food-secure households. However, figures revealed disparities by race and ethnicity. For example, during that year, the shares of Black non-Hispanic and Hispanic individuals living in low food security households were three times higher than those of White non-Hispanics. Furthermore, seven percent of Black non-Hispanic individuals lived in homes with very low food security, the highest share across all races and ethnicities.

本统计数据显示了2022年美国不同种族和民族背景下的食品安全与不安全个体的比例。当年，美国有89.6%的居民生活在食品安全家庭中。然而，数据显示在种族和民族背景上存在显著差异。例如，在那一年，非西班牙裔黑人及西班牙裔个体生活在低食品安全家庭中的比例是非西班牙裔白人的三倍。此外，7%的非西班牙裔黑人个体居住在食品安全极低的家庭中，这一比例在所有种族和民族中均最高。
