An assessment of 2019 data by the Colorado Health Institute revealed that on average rural areas were more heavily affected than urban areas, with a pre-pandemic data analysis showing 12% of rural Coloradans report food insecurity compared to 9.3% of urban Coloradans.

When one in five Colorado adults aren’t eating a full three meals a day, that sure puts rolling your eyes at a 4-day-old green bean casserole in perspective. According to Hunger Free Colorado, reports from early 2021 show 33% of Coloradans lack a reliable source of nutritious food, with 16% of children lacking adequate nutrition directly due to insufficient finances, and 20% of adults saying they regularly cut back on or skip meals entirely due to a lack of money. In Colorado, hunger has reached an all-time high during the pandemic.
