Factoring for population that's almost identical.
0.16% for Austria and 0.17% for the US, given my back of the envelope math and a quick Google search.
You sure those systemic issues are fixed?
edit:
Numbers I used.
Austria
8933346[0]/15000[1] - 0.16%
US:
330000000[2]/580466[3] - 0.17%

- malermeister 5y agoVery interesting, I can't argue with your math, props to you! I have however lived in cities in both the US and Austria extensively and can anecdotally tell you the homelessness doesn't even compare. If all those numbers are correct, I would assume it's a distribution issue? Maybe there's a small percentage of homeless folks all over Austria, while they're a lot more segregated into certain cities in the US?
- anovikov 5y agoYes these are called sanctuary cities - liberal-ran cities where bosses just seem to love bums.
