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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Southwestern and south-central Georgia exhibit the highest concentrations of SNAP participation, with numerous zip codes exceeding 35–50%, forming a pronounced cluster of food assistance dependency across the rural Black Belt region. The northern Atlanta metropolitan area and its suburban ring stand out with markedly lower SNAP rates, generally below 10%, creating a sharp contrast with adjacent urban core zip codes that show significantly elevated participation. Coastal zip codes display a mixed pattern, with areas around Savannah showing moderate-to-high SNAP usage while some barrier island and suburban coastal communities register among the lowest rates in the state.
