Homeless population per 10 00 Inhabitants
Homeless population per 10,000 inhabitants, 2023

It is estimated that 1 billion people are homeless worldwide.[1] Habitat for Humanity estimated in 2016 that 1.6 billion people around the world live in "inadequate shelter".[2]

Different countries often use different definitions of homelessness. It can be defined by living in a shelter, being in a transitional phase of housing and living in a place not fit for human habitation. The numbers may take into account internal displacement from conflict, violence and natural disasters, but may or may not take into account chronic and transitional homelessness, making direct comparisons of numbers complicated.[3]

Dependent territories

Statistics on homelessness (and other social issues) in dependent territories are often integrated into those for the nation-states to which they are related. However, territories with significant populations often compile their own statistics or generate news on homelessness. For example, in Hong Kong in 2017, media reports indicated that 1,800 people were homeless, with the problem mainly attributed to high costs of living.[69]
