Week 9 of the @uscensusbureau’s Household Pulse data released today! Continued thanks for their tireless work.
#FoodInsecurity top line #’s are back up this week. Estimates still below their peaks, but this week wiped out all the statistical progress made over past weeks.

Remember: Household Pulse asks a/b food SUFFICIENCY, incl. do we have enough food but not types we want, or sometimes/often not enough food. Asks a/b last 7 days.
44% report they are food insufficient; 52% among those w/kids.

I transform data from insufficiency to #FoodInsecurity using the CPS. Usually, a smaller share of those not having “food types wanted” turn out to be food insecure, and (of course) a higher share that “often” or “sometimes” don’t have enough food are.
