Overview

Allows users to confirm eligibility of summer meal sites by accessing census tract and census block group (CBG) data. This tool can also be used to conduct weighted averaging as discussed in SFSP Policy Memorandum 10-2015, “Area Eligibility in Child Nutrition Programs,” published Nov. 21, 2014, available at http://www.fns.usda.gov/area-eligibility-child-nutrition-programs-0. Instructions for determining eligibility using these data are available at: http://www.fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/Census%20Instructions%202014_0.pdf. The instructions offer two different tools to determine eligibility: the FNS Area Eligibility Mapper and a map developed by the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC). The FRAC map is constructed from the same data files and also may be used to determine eligibility. Additionally, State agencies may request the data file for every CBG and census tract, including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) codes for Geographic Information System (GIS) efforts, in their State. State agencies also may provide these data to institutions and partners upon request. This tool can also be used to identify locations that are area eligible for participation in other Child Nutrition Programs.
