Notes
SNAP provides monthly benefits that help eligible low-income households buy food. Because SNAP data are based on state fiscal year averages, population estimates for two years were averaged to calculate a SNAP participation rate per 100 children. Rates are updated as new estimates become available, and may differ from previously published estimates.
