Eighty-nine percent of American households were food secure throughout the entire year in 2007, meaning that they had access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The remaining households (11.1 percent) were food insecure at least some time during the year. About one-third of food insecure households (4.1 percent of all U.S. households) had very low food security—meaning that the food intake of one or more adults was reduced and their eating patterns were disrupted at times during the year because the household lacked money and other resources for food. Prevalence rates of food insecurity and very low food security were essentially unchanged from those in 2005 and 2006.

The Food Security in the United States briefing room provides a central point for obtaining information about current trends in food security and the most recent reports and data related to food security. Recent statistics are based on data from the December 2007 food security survey. Eighty-nine percent (104 million) of American households were food secure throughout the entire year in 2007, meaning that they had access, at all times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The prevalence of food insecurity (11.1 percent) and very low food security (4.1 percent) of households in 2007 remained essentially unchanged from 2006. ERS plays a leading role in Federal research on food security in U.S. households and communities.
