Over half a million Americans are currently homeless.

As Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports, after a period of progress
and decline, the U.S. homeless population has increased slightly in
2020 and 2022, according to a report from the Department of Housing
and Urban Development. The 2021 numbers were affected by shelters
lowering capacity due to the Covid-19 pandemic during the count that
takes places in the first month(s) of every year.

It now stands at 582,462 individuals with two thirds living in
shelters. While the number of sheltered individuals in 2022 approached
the 2020 pre-pandemic level again, the increase in the nation's
homeless is primarily due to a rise in the unsheltered homeless
population.

Around half of all unsheltered homeless people in the U.S. are located
in California. The rates of unsheltered homeless populations are also
high in other states on the West Coast. Tent cities are common
occurrences in these states, and this very visible symptom of
homelessness has proven divisive, and while some cities have embraced
designated areas for camping as a solution for unsheltered people,
others have recently cracked down on encampments, for example
Sacramento, San Jose and Oakland.

Half of the U.S. homeless population is scattered across the country's
50 biggest cities and their surrounding areas. 22 percent of them live
in just two cities - New York and Los Angeles. Despite its
considerable homeless population, New York has a very low rate of
unsheltered individuals: only 5.4 percent lived on the streets in
early 2022, which is in part due to the two cities opposing climates.

In California 67.3 percent of homeless people were listed as
unsheltered at the same time.

The CoCs for New York and Los Angeles - so-called Continuums of Care
or local planning bodies coordinating the response to homelessness -
saw around 62,000 and 65,000 homeless people in the early 2022 count.
Other CoCs in the U.S. experiencing a high level of homelessness are
Seattle/King County with around 13,3000 homeless people registered as
part of the count, and San Jose and Santa Clara in California with
more than 10,000.

Out of the 10 CoCs with the biggest homeless populations registered in
2022, six were located in California.
