Interregional Variation In Food Expenditure Patterns Of Low-Income Households

  • Matsumoto, Masao

Abstract

Household food consumptionpatterns differ significantly among geographic regions in the United States. The variations in low-income household food expenditures are identified for major food categories in nine census regions. A multiple regression model is developed to estimate changes in food expenditure patterns associated with changes in income for low-income households. Our results have important implications for Federal programs such as the Food Stamp Program.
