Poverty and Hunger in America & Nevada County

Poverty and hunger in America often go hand in hand, but poverty is not the ultimate determinant of food insecurity. People living above the poverty line are often at risk of hunger as well. Research demonstrates that unemployment, rather than poverty, is a better predictor of food insecurity among people living in the United States. 

​US Statistics on Poverty
The most recent government statistics on poverty collected show that in 2015,
  • 43.1 million people (13.5 percent) were in poverty, including 14.5 million (20 percent) children under the age of 18.
  • 42.2 million Americans lived in food-insecure households, including more than 13 million children.
  • 14,000, or roughly 1 out 7 Nevada County residents live in food -insecure households
According to a Feeding America Hunger in America 2014 study and IFM client survey data,
  • Based on annual income, 72 percent of client households live at or below 100 percent of the federal poverty line.
  • The average annual household income of IFM clients is $14,256;  or $1,188/month
  • More than half of client households (54 percent) report at least one employed person at some point in the past year. 
If you are interested in viewing more general facts and statistics on hunger and poverty, view the Feeding America Hunger and Poverty Fact Sheet.
