That was an increase of 70,650 people, or 12%, over the previous year and the greatest amount since data collection began in 2007.

According to the survey, African Americans make up 13% of the total US population but account for 37% of all homeless people.

According to the report, Hispanics experienced the greatest increase in homelessness, increasing by 28%, or 39,106 people, between 2022 and 2023.
