      abstract = {This study examines the extent to which household  demographics, local economic and social conditions, and  federal food security programs explain the likelihood of  household food insecurity in Oregon. Between 1999 and 2001,  Oregon had the highest average rate of hunger in the nation  and ranked in the top five states with respect to food  insecurity. Statistical analyses using a multivariate logit  model reveal that food insecurity is influenced by much  more than demographics and individual choices. County-level  factors such as residential location (urban versus rural)  and housing costs significantly affect the likelihood that  families will be food insecure.},
