Food insecurity seems to have increased more rapidly in Canada than in the United States since 2022

The red line presents the official statistics released by Statistics Canada based on the 2018-2024 Canadian Income Survey (CIS), with food insecurity generally collected in the first half of the year following the survey reference year. PROOF has chosen to label the data using the year of data collection.
The blue line presents statistics estimated by applying Canada's methodology to publicly available data files of the 2018-2024 Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement (CPS-FSS).
