Description: Block groups within San Diego County are shown by the absolute number of persons below poverty and the percentage of people below poverty. Census block groups with a darker color have greater poverty numbers, whereas block groups with a lighter color have less poverty. The percentage of persons below poverty is the number of persons below poverty in a block group divided by the total population of the block group times 100.

Data acquired from 2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates through the United States Census Bureau website. The U.S. Census Bureau conducts the American Community Survey every year. Data for 2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates are based on survey data compiled from 2015 to 2019. Census block groups represent populations at a smaller scale within Census Tracts.

North County Food Policy Council and San Diego Food System Alliance partnered with Palomar College to develop the San Diego Regional Food Systems GIS Map. Within the map's contents are U.S. Census data for poverty, food assistance, food insecurity, population over 65, population under 18, Hispanic population, and Black population. Demographic characteristics of a population are an indication of food insecurity.
