The 2024 Food Insecurity Index, created by Conduent Healthy Communities Institute, is a measure of socioeconomic and household hardship correlated with poor food access. The index is part of Conduent's SocioNeeds Index® Suite, which provides analytics around social determinants of health to advance equitable outcomes for a range of topics.
All zip codes, counties, and county equivalents in the United States are given an index value from 0 (low need) to 100 (high need). To help you find the areas of highest need in your community, the selected locations are ranked from 1 (low need) to 5 (high need) based on their index value relative to similar locations within the region.

Data Source
The Food Insecurity Index is calculated by Conduent Healthy Communities Institute using data from Claritas Pop-Facts®, 2024; Claritas Consumer Spending Dynamix, 2024; and American Community Survey 2018-2022.
