The percentage of each county population in Maryland that participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (previously known as food stamps), specifically among those that are eligible, i.e. they have an income low enough to qualify for benefits.

The number of eligible people not participating in SNAP in each county in state fiscal year 2017 was generated by comparing the number of people living below 185 percent of the federal poverty level - a proxy for those who are likely eligible for SNAP — to those who are currently participating in the program. Nationally, the eligibility cut-off for SNAP is 130 percent of the federal poverty level, but this dataset uses 185 percent of the federal poverty level due to the high cost of living in Maryland.
