  During 2018, 2.7% of U.S. families often did not have enough food and did not have enough money to buy more to last 30 days. Poor families (9.6%) were more likely than near-poor families (4.9%) and not-poor families (0.8%) to often lack food. An estimated 8.2% of families sometimes did not have enough food or the money to buy more, and the percentage varied by poverty status: poor families (22.6%), near-poor families (16.2%), and not-poor families (3.4%).
