How we compute this

We use USDA's historical SNAP Retailer Locator data and keep only stores that are currently authorized, meaning a store whose authorization has no end date. That leaves 249,063 active stores, which we group by the ZIP code each store sits in, covering 23,939 ZIP codes across 53 states and jurisdictions.

A ZIP code counts as having a grocery option when at least one active store is a supermarket, super store, or large, medium, or small grocery store, or a combination grocery. 20,345 ZIP codes meet that bar. The remaining 3,594 have SNAP stores but no grocery store of any size, and 3,168 are served by convenience stores alone.

These are counts of stores located inside a ZIP code, not a measure of food access, because a resident may shop at a store in a neighboring ZIP code. A ZIP code with no authorized store is left out rather than recorded as a zero, and leading-zero ZIP codes are restored. The figures recompute on every build from the latest USDA file.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean if no grocery store in my ZIP accepts SNAP?

It means USDA lists no supermarket or grocery store authorized for SNAP inside your ZIP code as of December 2025, only convenience stores or specialty shops, or no SNAP store at all. It does not necessarily mean there is no grocery store within reach, because a neighboring ZIP code may have one. It is a count of stores by location, not a travel-distance measure. according to ZipCheckup's reading of federal data as of December 2025.
