Homelessness is a complex issue and there isn’t one singular piece of data that can effectively tell the entire story of homelessness and the greater need for housing in the United States. However, there are several data sources and tools that can be used at the community level to address the issue and some, like the USICH Homeless Population by State map, can be used to effectively visualize a large swath of homelessness data for any state and/or territory in the United States. By using data, communities can engage in a collaborative decision-making process while also addressing wider needs, gaps in funding, and existing resources. Use the data and maps below to explore homelessness and homeless population by state for the U.S. See why equity vs equality matters, what populations are most affected, and how the data is collected and used. Pair these maps with other interactive demographic tools to explore the issue further.
