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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Michigan's SNAP participation rates exhibit a stark urban-rural divide, with the highest concentrations (40–50%+) clustered in Detroit and several zip codes in the central Upper Peninsula, while affluent suburban areas in Oakland County and the northwestern Lower Peninsula exurbs register rates near 0–5%. A notable band of elevated SNAP usage (20–30%) stretches across the northern Lower Peninsula and scattered pockets in cities like Flint, Saginaw, and Muskegon, contrasting with consistently lower rates in the western lakeshore communities and the suburban corridors surrounding Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor.
