Population and Social Characteristics
This City Has the Most Homeless People in America
Published:
Over 653,000 people nationwide were unhoused in 2023, according to point-in-time estimates from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. And more than half of them, or over 57%, experienced homelessness in just 50 cities nationwide.
To find the 50 cities where the most people experience homelessness, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed point-in-time homelessness data from the HUD for continuum of care geographic service areas. The cities are ordered here by the number of homeless persons in each COC service area. All data is from the HUD.
The 50 cities on the list are inevitably some of the most populous cities nationwide, and each is home to anywhere from about 2,000 unhoused persons to as many 88,000 unhoused people. Sixteen cities are in California, five in Texas, and five in Florida, though the city with the most homeless people is New York. In general, the West is the region with the most cities on the list at 29, followed by 12 in the South.
Homelessness declined over the past five years in only 11 of the 50 cities. In the rest, the number of people experiencing homelessness rose. In 32 cities, the number rose by over 10%, including nine in which the number rose by over 75%. These nine cities are all in the West, including seven in California. And while percentage wise, the number of homeless people grew the most in Sacramento as the number more than doubled, by raw number, there were over 78,000 more unhoused persons in New York in 2023 than in 2018. In Los Angeles, there were nearly 50,000 more homeless persons.
While the HUD did not provide the full racial breakdown of people experiencing homelessness in these geographic areas, in 31 cities, the number of unhoused persons who are Black American makes up 25% of the area’s homeless population. (Also see: Who are the Homeless in Every State.)
