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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes on the windward and northern coasts of the Big Island (Hawaiʻi) display notably elevated SNAP participation rates, with several areas reaching 25–35% or higher, while interior and resort areas on the Kona side remain substantially lower, often below 10%. On Oʻahu, a sharp urban contrast is evident, with certain leeward and central zip codes—particularly in the Waiʻanae Coast area—showing SNAP rates well above 20%, compared to near-zero rates in affluent neighborhoods. Kauaʻi exhibits a similar pattern, with pockets of high food assistance usage concentrated on its western and northern portions, while Maui's highest rates appear along the southern and eastern coasts.
