Abstract
In 2021, 5.9% of adults aged ≥18 years lived in families that were food-insecure in
the past 30 days. The percentage was higher in urban areas (6.2%) compared with rural
areas (4.6%) overall and within households earning 100%–199% of FPL (13.5% versus
8.9%) and ≥200% of FPL (2.4% versus 1.4%). For adults living in families with incomes
<100% of FPL, the percentage was similar in rural (22.8%) and urban (20.4%) areas.
The percentage decreased with family income from 20.8% for those living in families
earning <100% of FPL to 2.3% for those living in families earning ≥200% of FPL. The
same pattern was found for adults living in urban and rural areas.
