Rate by density

Major-city / other-urban / suburban / rural breakdown of homelessness rates

Splits each state's CoCs by HUD's density category and shows the combined rate per category. Even after removing major-city CoCs, do rural areas in your state really have lower rates, or do they just have less population? National pattern: Major City CoCs run ~4× higher than rural CoCs. State-level patterns vary widely.
