Data Source

Unpublished data provided by
the Alabama Department of Human
Resources, Food Assistance Division.

Notes

Data was not available at the
county level for persons aged 60+ who
received food assistance through the
Alabama Elderly Simplified Application
Project (AESAP) in 2012; thus, they were
excluded from the totals for that month/year. 2018 data has AESAP cases included
in county of origin therefore previous year’s
data is not comparable.
