  - 11.4% are extended kin
  - 7.1% are sibling co-residence

FI rates range from 16.1% to 19.0%.


SNAP participation gaps (among food-insecure HHs):

  - Grandfamily: 49.7%
  - Cohabiting w/ children: 46.7%
  - Single parent: 46.1%
  - Multigenerational: 42.6%
  - Extended kin: 34.9%
  - Married w/ children: 27.1%


Immigrant-headed households:

15.8% food insecure vs. 13.3% native-headed. Among food-insecure
immigrant HHs, only 28.4% receive SNAP vs. 36.1% of native-headed.
Mixed-status families (immigrant parents, U.S.-born children): 19.1%
