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.
