The below dashboard digs into how historical and ongoing discrimination drives disparities in five economic indicators that impact a family's ability to access food: disability, homeownership, median income, poverty, and unemployment. For technical questions, email research@feedingamerica.org.

How to Get Started: Begin by selecting one of the featured drivers of food insecurity. After, explore county-specific data using the state and/or food bank maps. From there, further dive into the data by clicking on each racial or ethnic category to see how historical and ongoing discrimination creates disparate outcomes in communities near you and across the country.
