% of Population on Food Stamps or SNAP (Last 12 Months), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Arizona

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The northeastern corner of Arizona, encompassing parts of the Navajo Nation and Apache County, exhibits the highest SNAP participation rates in the state, with multiple zip codes exceeding 35–50%, reflecting persistent poverty conditions on tribal lands. In contrast, the Phoenix metropolitan area displays sharp intra-urban variation, where affluent suburban zip codes in Scottsdale and the East Valley register near 0–5% while adjacent central Phoenix and south Phoenix zip codes reach 15–25%. Western and southwestern Arizona, including areas around Yuma and the border region, shows a mixed pattern with moderate-to-high SNAP usage interspersed with lower-participation zones, likely reflecting the uneven distribution of agricultural employment and military installations.
