2025 Edition Now Available
The Missouri Hunger Atlas 2025 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.
A web application for the Missouri Hunger Atlas also provides a way to search for specific data based on year, county, and indicator. Go to mohungeratlas.org to learn more. Key features and functions include:
- 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.
The complete Missouri Hunger Atlas 2025 is also available as a PDF download.
