Definitions: Number of Households in Maryland participating in SNAP.

Data Source: United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services

Footnotes: Numbers are reflective of total households participating in SNAP, including both households that receive and do not receive other public assistance.

The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of households participating in SNAP in that jurisdiction by the total number of household participating in SNAP in Maryland.

The data collected is in federal government fiscal year format. The Fiscal Year cycle is from July 1 to June 30.

Note: Maps use the natural break classification method, which reflects patterns in the data by dividing the map into naturally occurring groups. Using statistical tools, this method determines cut-off points for each group by identifying large gaps in data values.
