Summary confidence: high
This dataset covers 3,222 U.S. counties with population, poverty, and SNAP participation estimates alongside FIPS and state identifiers. Population and SNAP-related counts are extremely right-skewed — total_pop has a skew of 13.4 and a max of 9.78M against a median of just 25,174, with similar long tails in poverty_pop and snap_participants_est. The poverty_rate column is more behaved (median 13.55%, max 66.32%) and is probably the most useful field for cross-county comparison without log-scaling. Note that snap_eligible_est appears to be an exact duplicate of poverty_pop (identical stats), which is worth verifying before using either as an independent variable. State coverage spans 52 distinct values, so DC and territories are included.
