Abstract

As a basic necessity, food is a major component of household spending, representing 12.4 percent of U.S. household expenditures in 2021, behind housing (33.8 percent) and transportation (16.4 percent). Food price growth, or food inflation, affects all household budgets and can disproportionately impact the financial health as well as the food and nutrition security of lower income consumers. Lower income households spent a greater share of their income (30.6 percent) on food in 2021 than the national average. Moreover, rising food prices can force households to shift spending from other budget categories to allow them to buy enough food.
