Feeding America’s statewide estimates, based on 2024 data, show:

• 481,460 Nevadans experienced food insecurity.
• Nevada’s overall food-insecurity rate was 15.1%—approximately one in seven residents.
• 148,850 Nevada children experienced food insecurity.
• The child food-insecurity rate was 21.6%—more than one in five children.
• Nevada’s annual food-budget shortfall was approximately $316.4 million.
• That represents a gap of approximately 91.2 million meals.
• The average cost of a meal in Nevada was $3.47.
• Approximately 38.1% of food-insecure Nevadans lived in households with incomes above Nevada’s SNAP eligibility threshold—meaning they may struggle to afford food while earning too much to qualify for assistance.

These are modeled estimates rather than direct counts. They also reflect conditions in 2024 and do not capture subsequent changes to SNAP or other nutrition programs.
