I don't know how valid those stats are but those are per capita numbers not absolute numbers, so not twice as many total homeless: Sweden: 10,230,000/10,000*36

I don't know how valid those stats are but those are per capita numbers not absolute numbers, so not twice as many total homeless:
Sweden: 10,230,000/10,000*36 = 36,828 homeless
US: 328,200,000/10,000*17 = 649,740 homeless
- chrisseaton 5y ago> those are per capita numbers not absolute numbers Of course they are. Why would you use anything else to compare countries?
- mistercool 5y agoI think the comment was in response to your phrasing: > 2x the homeless of the US. to me that reads as total homeless population, not a function of population.
- gwright 5y agoYour comment as written was unclear. I was trying to provide clarity.
- Overton-Window 5y agoFor comparison: there are single neighbourhoods in California with >36k homeless. Congregation is the real issue.
- cscurmudgeon 5y agoWe can flip that around and say US has much more housed people when you use absolute numbers.
