In Nigeria, more than half of consumer spending goes toward food purchased for home consumption, while other countries like the U.S. and Singapore spend closer to 6% each./p pWhy Food Spending Varies Across Regions/p pIncome differences help explain these disparities. According to an economic principle known as Engel’s law, households generally devote a smaller share of their spending to food as incomes rise, even if the amount they spend on food increases./p pThis pattern is consistent with changes in global income levels over recent decades. However, regional differences remain striking. In Africa, Nigeria’s 56% contrasts with South Africa’s 17%. Across Asia, Myanmar’s 55% is nearly ten times Singapore’s 6%./p pImportantly, these figures measure the share of consumer spending, not the absolute cost of groceries. Countries with lower percentages may still spend considerably more on food in dollar terms./p pHow Inflation and Food Insecurity Affect Affordability/p pFood inflation places additional pressure on households already spending substantial portions of their income on groceries. Rising prices for essential food commodities can force families to cut back on other necessities./p pAccording to the World Food Programme, conflict, climate shocks, and economic pressures continue to drive food insecurity worldwide. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization also emphasizes that affordable, nutritious diets are essential for health and economic development./p pA higher spending share does not necessarily indicate hunger. However, it can signal greater financial vulnerability when food prices rise faster than household incomes./p pLearn More on the Voronoi App/p pTo explore how rising prices could affect consumers worldwide, check out Where Food Inflation Will Hit Hardest in 2026 on the Voronoi app./p /div /div /div div class=field field-name-field-source field-type-link-field field-label-hidden field-wrappera href=https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/mapped-how-much-people-spend-on-food-by-country/Source/a/divdiv class=field field-name-opencalais-continent-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden field-wrapper div class=field-items class=comma-separated field-items div class=field-item even class=field-item evena href=/category/asiaAsia/a/div div class=field-item odd class=field-item even odda href=/category/africaAfrica/a/div /div /div Tue, 27 Oct 2026 23:30:50 +0000 Guest 66834 at http://192.168.0.9:8082 http://192.168.0.9:8082/news/mapped-how-much-people-spend-food-country#comments https://5ux.com/news/mapped-political-ad-spending-us-state-2026/ div class=clearfix body field div class=field-items div class=field-item evenpWhere Is Political Ad Money Going in 2026?/p pKey Takeaways/p ul liCalifornia, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, and Florida account for more than 40% of tracked political and issue advertising spending across the 50 states./li liSpending patterns vary considerably by state, with some showing relatively balanced Democratic- and Republican-aligned activity while others lean heavily toward one party./li liAbout 71% of tracked spending on Meta and Google comes from advertisers that cannot be reliably linked to either major party./li /ul pAs the 2026 U.S. midterm elections approach, political campaigns and advocacy groups are spending millions to reach Americans through digital advertising./p pThis visualization maps political and issue advertising spending on Meta and Google across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., revealing where spending is concentrated and how it breaks down by political affiliation./p pThe data comes from ScrapeLads, which analyzed spending reported through Meta’s Ad Library and Google’s Political Ads Transparency Report./p pWhich States Are Seeing the Most Political Ad Spending?/p pCalifornia leads with $123.5 million in tracked spending, followed by Texas at $79.4 million.

Georgia also has a high proportion of unclassified spending, accounting for roughly 86% of its $36.8 million total./p pTo classify advertisers, ScrapeLads matched their names against Federal Election Commission records, using candidate affiliations, party committees, and independent expenditures. For the independent expenditure category, advertisers needed at least $25,000 in expenditures, with 85% or more supporting one party’s candidates or opposing the other’s./p pThe unclassified category includes companies, issue advocacy groups, ballot measure campaigns, and some state and local candidates. Some of these advertisers may support candidates or political causes without meeting the study’s criteria for a Democratic or Republican classification./p pWhere Are Democratic and Republican Advertisers Spending?/p pLooking specifically at advertisers with identified party affiliations reveals a different picture from the overall spending totals./p pTexas has the highest identified

Republican-aligned advertisers spent approximately $16.0 million, more than double the $6.2 million recorded for Democratic-aligned advertisers./p pOther states show different patterns. Michigan’s identified spending is relatively balanced, at $10.2 million Democratic-aligned and $9.5 million Republican-aligned. Wisconsin, meanwhile, has $6.8 million in identified Republican-aligned spending compared with $1.3 million Democratic-aligned./p pThese figures do not necessarily represent all advertising supporting either party, because some politically aligned organizations remain unclassified./p pWhat Do the Numbers Reveal About the Midterms?/p pSeveral states that were closely contested in the 2024 presidential election are seeing substantial digital advertising spending ahead of the 2026 midterms./p pAmong these states, Michigan leads with $47.9 million in tracked spending, followed by Georgia ($36.8 million), North Carolina ($25.5 million), Arizona ($24.1 million), and Wisconsin ($24.0 million)./p pPennsylvania has $21.2 million, while Nevada has $9.4 million./p pThese totals include advertising by candidate campaigns, political organizations, and groups promoting specific issues or ballot measures. An advertisement about immigration, health care, or energy policy, for example, may contribute to the political debate without explicitly endorsing a candidate./p pAs a result, these figures reflect the broader political advertising landscape, not just ads directly supporting or opposing candidates in the midterms./p pAdvertising spending is only one part of the midterm election picture. Voter participation also varies considerably across age groups, as shown in our visualization of midterm voter turnout by age./p pHow Much Political Advertising Does the Data Capture?/p pThe dataset covers political and issue advertising on Meta and Google, rather than all campaign spending./p pMeta’s data covers July 20 through October 17, 2026. Google’s state-level data covers January 1 through October 17, 2026, but represents approximately 63% of Google’s reported spending during that period./p pThe dataset therefore excludes some advertising outside these reporting windows, as well as political advertising on other platforms and traditional media such as television and radio./p pExplore Political Ad Spending in Every State/p

SRVC-N and SRVC-S boundaries are approximate based on the study’s methodology./p p class=wp-block-paragraphERCOT, covering most of Texas, ranks third at 12.6%, followed by MRO West at 12.1%. By contrast, Florida’s grid region records the smallest increase, at 1.0%./p p class=wp-block-paragraphNationally, the study estimates that data centers raised wholesale power prices by 6.9% by 2025. The national figure therefore masks wide differences in regional price pressure./p pHow Price Pressure Crosses Regions/p p class=wp-block-paragraphIn addition, the effects do not stop at regional boundaries. Electricity trade can transmit price pressure to areas with limited local data-center growth./p p class=wp-block-paragraphWECC California, for example, shows an 8.6% increase. The broader takeaway: a region’s exposure extends beyond the data centers within its own borders./p pWhat This Means for Utilities/p p class=wp-block-paragraphThese estimates use the Mid-Range (Peak) scenario and weight regional averages by electricity demand. However, they describe wholesale markets, not equivalent increases in household electricity bills./p p class=wp-block-paragraphThe model compares electricity prices with data-center demand against prices without it. These estimates do not track price growth between 2024 and 2025./p p class=wp-block-paragraphConsequently, utilities need generation and grid capacity to keep pace as data center markets evolve. Planning must consider both local projects and demand across connected regions./p pRelated Topics: #united states #power grid #utilities #NPUC #data centers #power prices #electricity demand #Wholesale Electricity #Energy Infrastructure /p p You may also like /p ul class=mvp-blog-story-list left relative infinite-content li class=mvp-blog-story-wrap left relative infinite-post p img src=https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/NPUC-Magic-Radar-20260921_Shareable-1200x675-1-400x240.webp / /p p Energy4 weeks ago/p p Magic Radar 2026: How Do U.S. Utilities Compare on Decarbonization?/p pHow U.S. utilities compare on emissions intensity, net-zero target timing, and Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting./p /li li class=mvp-blog-story-wrap left relative infinite-post p img src=https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/NPUC-ElectricitySHARE-400x240.webp / /p p Energy2 months ago/p p The Rising Cost of Electricity in the United States/p pWashington, DC had the largest increase in electricity prices from 2020 to 2025, while North Dakota saw the biggest decline./p /li li class=mvp-blog-story-wrap left relative infinite-post p img src=https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/NPUC-U.S.-Battery-Capacity-Growth-Forecast-20260723_Shareable-1200x675-1-400x240.webp / /p p Technology3 months ago/p p U.S. Battery Capacity Growth Forecast: 2026–2031/p pSee how U.S. carbon offsets break down by project type in 2026, from forestry to methane, refrigerants, and wind./p /li li class=mvp-blog-story-wrap left relative infinite-post p img src=https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/NPUC-Countries-building-the-most-SMRs-20260615_Shareable-1200x675-1-400x240.webp / /p p Energy4 months ago/p p Ranked: Countries Building the Most Small Modular Nuclear Reactors/p pSmall Modular Nuclear Reactors are moving from concept to siting, with the U.S. leading at 28 announcements as power demand surges./p /li li class=mvp-blog-story-wrap left relative infinite-post p img src=https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/NPUC-Teaser-400x240.jpg / /p p Energy1 year ago/p p Ranked: The Top 10 Cleanest Operating Utilities In The U.S./p pJust four U.S. utilities operate with over 80% carbon-free generation.

Young people ages 15–29 account for roughly a quarter of its population, or 367 million people. In 2025, youth unemployment stood at 16%, highlighting the difficulty of translating India’s young workforce into employment opportunities./p pWill Finding a Job Get Easier in 2027?/p pGlobal economic growth is projected to rise from 3.1% in 2026 to 3.4% in 2027, with the AI-driven technology boom helping support economic activity and investment./p pHowever, faster growth does not necessarily translate into stronger hiring.

In Texas, for example, property taxes are collected by local tax authorities and support services such as schools, roads, and fire protection, even though the state government itself levies no property tax./p pThese shares describe how governments raise money, rather than how much an individual household owes. A large property-tax share can reflect limited collections from other taxes as well as substantial property-tax revenue./p pHow States Fund Services Without Taxing Wages/p pFlorida collects no individual income tax revenue, with property and general sales taxes together supplying about three-quarters of state and local tax collections. In Texas, those two categories account for nearly 79%, highlighting both states’ reliance on property and consumption taxes./p pNew Hampshire takes that pattern further: property taxes generated 64.3% of tax revenue, the highest share nationwide. The state has no general sales tax and does not tax wages. Its small individual income tax share in 2024 reflects the interest and dividends tax, which was repealed effective in 2025./p pSales-related collections also extend beyond the checkout counter. General sales taxes include taxes on business gross receipts, while selective sales taxes apply to particular products or activities, such as fuel, tobacco, and utilities. This helps explain why a state’s revenue mix can look different from the taxes shoppers encounter directly./p pDelaware and North Dakota: The Outliers/p pDelaware’s largest revenue source is license taxes, accounting for roughly one-third of collections. This category includes corporate franchise licenses and related charges, giving it a much broader meaning than driver’s licenses or hunting permits./p pThat revenue source connects to Delaware’s position in corporate America. In 2024, the state was the legal home of more than two million business entities and about two-thirds of Fortune 500 companies. Incorporation generates public revenue from businesses whose operations extend far beyond Delaware’s borders./p pNorth Dakota’s unusual mix reflects another economic advantage: natural resources. “Other taxes,” which include severance taxes on resource extraction, supplied 40.7% of collections. The state levies taxes on oil and gas production and oil extraction, linking part of its public finances to the value of energy produced within its borders./p pLearn More on the Voronoi App/p pTo explore the role of property taxes worldwide, check out Revenues from property taxes are much higher in advanced economies on Voronoi./p /div /div /div div class=field field-name-field-source field-type-link-field field-label-hidden field-wrappera href=https://www.visualcapitalist.com/where-each-states-tax-revenue-comes-from/Source/a/divdiv class=field field-name-opencalais-continent-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden field-wrapper div class=field-items class=comma-separated field-items div class=field-item even class=field-item evena href=/category/americaAmerica/a/div /div /div div class=field field-name-opencalais-provinceorstate-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden field-wrapper div class=field-items class=comma-separated field-items div class=field-item even class=field-item evena href=/category/delawareDelaware/a/div /div /div Mon, 26 Oct 2026 14:04:32 +0000 Guest 66841 at http://192.168.0.9:8082 http://192.168.0.9:8082/news/where-each-us-state-gets-its-tax-revenue#comments https://5ux.com/news/ranked-most-and-least-trusted-professions-2026/ div class=clearfix body field div class=field-items div class=field-item evenpWhich Professions Do People Trust the Most?/p pKey Takeaways/p ul liDoctors, scientists, and teachers lead the trust rankings, with net trust scores of +43, +42, and +37 percentage points, respectively./li liPoliticians (-48) and social media influencers (-44) have the lowest net trust scores among the 20 professions surveyed./li liTrust varies sharply within government, with civil servants (-9) scoring 28 percentage points higher than government ministers (-37)./li /ul pPeople rely on doctors, teachers, politicians, and other professionals every day.

However, fertility has fallen sharply across much of the region, particularly in East Asia, where aging populations are contributing to higher death totals./p pAfrica presents a different picture. Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Tanzania collectively account for approximately 21.25 million births, compared with just 5.54 million deaths./p pAlthough global fertility rates vary considerably, sub-Saharan Africa has the world’s highest regional fertility rates. Its younger population and larger average family sizes are expected to increase the continent’s share of global births in the coming decades./p pWhat Falling Fertility Means for Population Growth/p pGlobally, fertility has been declining, with many countries already below the replacement level of approximately 2.1 children per woman. These include China and the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that American fertility has continued declining, although births still exceed deaths nationally./p pMeanwhile, improvements in healthcare and declining mortality have supported population growth in many developing countries. Nevertheless, infectious diseases remain an important public health challenge, particularly where access to healthcare is limited./p pAs fertility declines and populations age, more countries may eventually experience deaths exceeding births. However, population momentum means global population growth can continue for decades even as average family sizes shrink./p pLearn More on the Voronoi App/p pTo explore how changing birth rates are reshaping global demographics, check out Falling Fertility Rates in the World’s 10 Biggest Countries on the Voronoi app./p /div /div /div Sun, 25 Oct 2026 18:13:27 +0000 Guest 66833 at http://192.168.0.9:8082 http://192.168.0.9:8082/news/ranked-births-vs-deaths-12-major-countries#comments
