Notice that USA has more houses per capita than countries with homeless populations that are significantly smaller.
People can move between American states easily. If there's a state where living as a homeless person is easier - people without homes will move there. Which will cause the problem to grow there and decrease in the origin state. If you really wanted to only compare American states - at least split the states by "homeless produced" vs "homeless exported". Otherwise it's just propaganda. Also - why would you only compare American states? Seems very manipulative. Like you wanted to ignore the possible causes of the problem that are shared by all American states.
