The goal of this study was to discover (1) household expenditure patterns and welfare levels, (2) household food consumption diversity, and (3) factors influencing household food consumption diversity. This analysis drew on secondary data from the 2019 National Social Economic Survey (NSES). The size of household samples utilised in this study was 9,046. Quantitative descriptive analysis examined the household expenditure pattern and the welfare level. The Desirable Dietary Pattern (DDP) approach examined food consumption diversity. Multiple regression was employed to determine the factors influencing food consumption diversity. The results indicated that the level of household welfare in Lampung Province is categorised as a pre-prosperous household because the food share is 57.15%. The DDP score of the Lampung Province household was 75.44. This means that the diversity of household food consumption in Lampung Province was not ideal. Household income, the age of the head of the household, the mother’s education, and the gender of the head of the household had a positive effect on household food consumption diversity. In contrast, the number of household members and the level of welfare harmed the diversity of household food consumption.
