据估计，2017年全年有88.2%的美国家庭粮食安全，这意味着他们可以随时获得足够的食物，让所有家庭成员都能过上积极、健康的生活。其余的家庭（11.8%）在一年中至少有一段时间粮食无保障，其中4.5%的家庭粮食保障程度很低，这意味着有时一个或多个家庭成员的食物摄入量减少，他们的饮食模式被打乱，因为家庭缺乏获得食物的钱和其他资源。与2016年相比，总体粮食不安全和极低粮食安全的下降具有统计意义。粮食不安全率从2016年的12.3%下降，极低粮食安全率从4.9%下降，继续呈下降趋势。在儿童中，2016年粮食不安全和极低粮食安全的变化在统计上并不显著。2017年，7.7%的美国有孩子的家庭的儿童和成人粮食不安全，而2016年为8.0%。2017年，儿童的粮食安全水平非常低，为0.7%，与2016年基本持平。2017年，典型的粮食安全家庭在粮食上的支出比相同规模和家庭组成的典型粮食不安全家庭高出23%。大约58%的粮食不安全家庭在2017年调查前的一个月内参加了三个最大的联邦粮食和营养援助计划中的一个或多个（补充营养援助计划（SNAP，以前的食品券）;妇女，婴儿和儿童特别补充营养计划（WIC）;和国家学校午餐计划）。
An estimated 88.2 percent of U.S. households were food secure throughout the entire year in 2017, meaning they had access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The remaining households (11.8 percent) were food insecure at least some time during the year, including 4.5 percent with very low food security, meaning that at times the food intake of one or more household members was reduced and their eating patterns were disrupted because the household lacked money and other resources for obtaining food. Declines from 2016 in food insecurity overall and in very low food security were statistically significant. The rate of food insecurity declined from 12.3 percent in 2016, and very low food security declined from 4.9 percent, continuing downward trends. Among children, changes from 2016 in food insecurity and very low food security were not statistically significant. Children and adults were food insecure in 7.7 percent of U.S. households with children in 2017, versus 8.0 percent in 2016. Very low food security among children was 0.7 percent in 2017, essentially unchanged from 2016. In 2017, the typical food-secure household spent 23 percent more on food than the typical food-insecure household of the same size and household composition. About 58 percent of food-insecure households participated in one or more of the three largest Federal food and nutrition assistance programs (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps); Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); and the National School Lunch Program) during the month prior to the 2017 survey.
