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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest SNAP participation rates, reaching 30–50%, concentrate in a corridor running through north Minneapolis and into Brooklyn Park, as well as in pockets near downtown Minneapolis and parts of St. Paul's east side, forming a clear urban core cluster of food assistance reliance. Suburban communities ringing the metro—particularly Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Woodbury, and Eagan—consistently register below 5%, creating a stark core-periphery contrast. A notable secondary cluster of elevated SNAP usage (15–25%) appears in several St. Paul zip codes east of downtown, distinguishing it from the lower rates in adjacent southeastern suburbs.
