Missouri Hunger Atlas

The Missouri Hunger Atlas 2019 visually engages readers to better understand hunger in Missouri. Through a series of indicator maps, tables and searchable data, the Atlas details the extent of food insecurity in all 114 Missouri counties and the city of St. Louis. The Atlas also assesses the performance of a host of public and private programs intended to help people struggling with hunger.

New in March 2022: A new web application for the Missouri Hunger Atlas now provides a way to search for specific data based on year (2013, 2016, and 2019) and county. Go to mohungeratlas.org to check out these new features and functions.

Key Features and Functions

  • County Tables for each county in Missouri (including the city of St. Louis) that measure rates of both food insecurity and program performance.
  • Indicator Maps that graphically illustrate patterns of food insecurity and program performance across the state.
  • Data Browser that allows for data to be selected, displayed, and download for select measures and counties.
