The federal food stamp program feeds nearly half the people in the Wade Hampton Census area of Western Alaska -- one of the highest rates in the country, according to a new New York Times analysis.
There, nearly 3,900 people and 62 percent of all children are on food stamps, according to the Times.
Here's the article. Most interesting is the interactive map that shows region-by-region numbers.
Wade Hampton is one of the poorest regions of the state, with income levels less than half of the statewide average. It's young too. More than 41 percent of the population is under 18 years old. But according to the Times, food stamp usage there has actually decreased since 2007.
The big surprise comes in Alaska's cities, where the analysis says the number of people on food stamps has rocketed between '07 and '09.
In Anchorage, the number of people on food stamps went up 28 percent in that time. It increased 27 percent in Fairbanks and 32 percent in Juneau.
