I remember hearing something on the radio years ago here in the UK that really caught my eye. There was a government project to count the number of homeless on a particular day. When the stats came out, the number had fallen despite anybody who ever walked around a town centre knowing the numbers had gone up. So the radio station interviewed a local outreach worker who had been tasked to get the stats in her town. She was told to only count people on public property - so, somebody sleeping on the Library steps was counted, somebody sleeping outside a supermarket was not.
