NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.
The highest SNAP participation rates, reaching 25–35% or above, cluster in zip codes west of Charlotte near Gastonia and in several inner-city zip codes, while the lowest rates—generally below 5%—appear in suburban zip codes south of Huntersville and in parts of the Concord corridor to the northeast. A notable contrast exists between the deep purple zip codes east and southeast of Charlotte, indicating very low SNAP usage in affluent suburban communities, and the bright green and yellow zones to the west, reflecting significantly higher economic need. The geographic pattern suggests a clear east-west disparity in food assistance reliance across the metro, with pockets of elevated need also visible in specific urban core zip codes near downtown Charlotte.
