This indicator shows the rate of sheltered and unsheltered homeless people per 10,000 population.
Why is this important?
Individuals who are unhoused or homeless have higher rates of several negative health outcomes, including mental health, substance abuse, respiratory disease, and injury. Limited access to resources such as employment or health care further exacerbates the problem. Homeless women have a high rate of domestic or sexual violence and homeless children have a high rate of behavioral and emotional problems.
