Homelessness rates by Continuum of Care, 2007–2024

Per-CoC and per-state homelessness rates over 18 years, with sheltered vs. unsheltered breakdowns, urban-vs-rural decomposition, and an undercount-risk audit flagging CoCs whose reported rates are likely understated. Includes a US choropleth map and rate-format toggles (per 10k, percent, 1 in N).

Analysis

What drives homelessness rates? Correlations across 17 covariates

Tests housing market conditions (rent burden, vacancy rate, renter share), eviction rates, federal funding, and labor market indicators against the CoC homelessness rate. Restricted to data-quality-vetted CoCs (n = 361). Identifies housing-market variables as the dominant signal; unemployment is essentially uncorrelated.
