Child Food Insecurity: Approximately 1 in 4 children in Cook County are at risk of hunger, with higher rates in the south suburbs. In some communities, nearly half of the children live in food-insecure households.
SNAP Participation: Despite the high levels of need, only about 64% of eligible individuals in Cook County participate in the SNAP program, leaving a significant portion of the population without access to this critical support.
Food Desert Classification: Many south suburban areas are classified as food deserts. This means residents have limited access to grocery stores that offer fresh and affordable food. Food pantries in the south suburbs have seen a dramatic increase in demand. For example, the Greater Chicago Food Depository, which serves Cook County, has reported that the number of people seeking food assistance has continued to rise, particularly in these high-need areas.
Disproportionate Impact on Minorities: The south suburbs are predominantly home to Black and Latino populations, who are disproportionately affected by food, transportation, healthcare, school supplies insecurity due to systemic inequities, including limited access to well-paying jobs and essential services.
