This map traces the contours of persistent poverty, economic dislocation, and safety net dependency - from Alaska Native villages where subsistence living intersects with federal assistance to the Mississippi Delta and Appalachian coalfields where generational poverty has made SNAP a structural feature of local economies rather than a temporary safety net.
