It wasn't as big 7 years ago. I don't get what's so hard about this to understand? The statistic grew from ~25% to 33%. This is noteworthy.

- kbart 10y ago"The statistic grew from ~25% to 33%. This is noteworthy." That's the whole point! Compare to, for example: "Homeless people in America that are over 50 increased by 30%". See the difference? "A third" is just what one would expect from pure statistics.
- peeters 10y agoI'm really confused as to what your point is. Just because over-51s now represent their demographic in homeless population as well, doesn't negate the fact that there was a MASSIVE upward trend in over-51s in the homeless population. If the trend continues, wait a few years and they'll be severely over-represented. Imagine people 50 and under all of a sudden accounted for 70% of Alzheimers diagnoses. Would you say that's not notable, because 70% of the population is 50 or under?
