Definition
Feeding America defines Estimated Program Eligibility as "The percentage of the estimated food-insecure population by income category, according to the eligibility thresholds of the major federal nutrition assistance programs, including SNAP (at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty line or the state-specific threshold, when it is a higher multiple) and other programs such as WIC (185 percent of poverty or the state-specific threshold)."

Notes
Feeding America publishes their Map the Meal Gap Report in May of each year and covers data from two years prior (i.e., if published in 2023, the data will cover 2021).
Some percentages may not equal 100% due to rounding.
Thresholds were changed between the 2020 and 2021 Map the Meal Gap Reports from "Below SNAP threshold of 130%", "Between 130% - 185% poverty", and "Above Other Nutrition Program threshold of 185% poverty" to "Below SNAP threshold of 130%" and "Above SNAP threshold". For 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 data, "Between 130% - 185% poverty", and "Above Other Nutrition Program threshold of 185% poverty" have been combined into the post-2020 category "Above SNAP threshold". Please see https://map.feedingamerica.org/county/2022/overall/wyoming for previous year's full category breakdown.
