Non-Statistical Indicator

Prevalence of undernourishment in the United States as a whole is about 2.5%. Food insecurity rate in Los Angeles County is lower than the national average so it is highly likely that prevalence of undernourishment in Los Angeles County is below the national average of 2.5%. Give the numbers are so low, there are no continuous datasets on undernourishment for Los Angeles County or City.

This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from City of Los Angeles statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Angeleno statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Angeleno-specific metadata information.
