1Totals exclude households whose food security status is unknown because they did not give a valid response to any of the questions in the food security scale. In 2009, these represented 386,000 households (0.3 percent of all households.)
2The food security survey measures food security status at the household level. Not all individuals residing in food-insecure households were directly affected by the households’ food insecurity. Similarly, not all individuals in households classified as having very low food security were subject to the reductions in food intake and disruptions in eating patterns that characterize this condition. Young children, in particular, are often protected from effects of the households’ food insecurity.

1Totals exclude households whose food security status is unknown because they did not give a valid response to any of the questions in the food security scale. In 2009, these represented 114,000 households (0.3 percent of all households with children.)
2Food-insecure households are those with low or very low food security among adults or children or both.
3Households with food-insecure children are those with low or very low food security among children.
4The food security survey measures food security status at the household level. Not all children residing in food-insecure households were directly affected by the households’ food insecurity. Similarly, not all children in households classified as having very low food security among children were subject to the reductions in food intake and disruptions in eating patterns that characterize this condition.
