Food Insecurity in 5 Counties
The data shows that the five selected nearby counties—Lincoln, Wilkes, Lamar, Stewart, and Fulton—have food insecurity rates ranging from 12.5% of the population (Fulton) to 20.2% (Stewart). Even the lowest of these rates is alarming, demonstrating a great need to address healthy food access and affordability in Atlanta.
