I haven’t delved into the lore as much, I was always under the impression that The Federation is post-scarcity, due to replicator technology. This is reinforced in the “Shades of Green” Lower Decks episode.
Earth is post-scarcity, but it’s not very clear how much this applies to the whole of the Federation. We’ve definitely seen Federation colonies deal with famine and even societal collapse (in Kirk and Yar’s backstory and elsewhere).
But regardless of all that, DS9 isn’t a Federation station, it’s just managed by Starfleet officers on behalf of the Bajorans.
What’s post-scarcity about it?
DS9 demonstrates clearly this isn’t the case. Even TNG had mention of rations.

Yar wasn’t from a Federation planet AFAIK
I wasn’t talking about odo specifically
Oh you probably misunderstood rations are rat-ions. They’re the things that cations chase.
