Below, find select tables from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey Week 57, spanning April 26 – May 8, 2023. These tables have been modified by the Coalition on Human Needs to find percentages among respondents reporting need (leaving out non-respondents, as the Census Bureau recommends). To see the original tables, follow this link here.

A note of caution:  some sample sizes, especially within states or metro areas, are too small to be reliable. If you see extreme shifts in the food comparisons for a small subset of the population, we would encourage you not to use those comparisons.

You can copy and paste from the tables below, but if you’d like to manipulate the data directly, you’ll need to download a copy of the table. We’ve provided a direct download link to an Excel version of each of these tables. To calculate percentages for other rows, add together the full range of responses (leaving out the numbers in the “Total” column and the “Did not report” column).  For the Food 1 table, add together the cells for “sometimes” or “often” not having enough food.  Divide that sum by the number in the “Total Reporting” cell and convert to a percentage.

If you’re having trouble seeing the tables we have provided, you may download the spreadsheets directly using the provided hyperlinks. If you are still having issues, or if you have any other questions, contact Nicolai Haddal: nhaddal@chn.org.
