Looks like those GOP states are already euthanizing the unhoused. 😳

states with more homeless programs are likely going to identify more homeless people than states that ignore their existence, NY for example does a ton more for the homeless than Michigan where I previously lived

One thing that keeps bothering me when I see maps of the US is the question: „Does the US not keep stats on its 5 territories?“ They’re US citizens. So, why aren’t they ever on any maps?

It’s also true that a lot of homeless people are shipped to the west coast or New York from states that just don’t want to deal with them.

Other than Nebraska and Hawaii, this correlates very well with the percent of the population living in large cities.
Nebraska depends on how you define „large city“,
Hawaii has a state-wide housing issue for well known reasons

Does this account for undercounting?

This map would be significantly different if it was per capita. Like the states percentage of population to homeless.
I wonder then which state would have the most homeless.

New York and California treat homeless people better than other states, and that’s why they go there.
Something like a little over 1/3rd of California homeless aren’t even from California.

I does Alaska have a large homeless population? I would think homelessness would be a death sentence there.

Would love to see this normalized to per capita income/average housing price.

Homeless people aren’t immobile. They migrate to places that provide them more resources, whether that is better weather, more compassionate residents, or better infrastructure or regulations for their lifestyle.
