- ataturk 9y agoI can just look around my own middle class neighborhood and see it--several houses renting out rooms, discussions about monthly budgets and charging basics to kite to the next paycheck. If it's on my street, and my street is/was middle class, and I know there are a lot of streets in worse shape than mine around town, it doesn't take a lot to put together what's going on.

A snippet from the summary: > The prevalence of food insecurity varied considerably from State to State, ranging from 8.7 percent in Hawaii to 18.7 percent in Mississippi in 2014-16. (Data for 3 years were combined to provide more reliable State-level statistics.
