We have now accessed the data table containing information about the sociodemographic characteristics of SNAP benefit recipients, shown in Figure 30. Take a moment to review its structure and content. The left side of the table lists all the person, household, and family characteristics available. These include household structure, the presence of children in the family and their ages, household poverty status, whether any persons with disability live in the household, racial and ethnic composition, and family work status. The columns that appear to the right display raw number estimates, margins of error (or variation around the estimates), and percentage calculations for each group that appears in the column headers: total U.S. population, households receiving SNAP benefits, and households not receiving SNAP benefits.
