Among the things one can glean from the two maps is that while California is among the worst in the country in number of homeless per 1,000 residents, they are not that far above much of the rest of the country.
Conversely, when one shifts to look at the percentage of homeless not receiving shelter, California sticks out, far above the other states.
That's one takeaway.
This is especially evident when one looks at the chart on the right that illustrates the raw numbers of homeless sheltered and unsheltered in various cities. While NY has many more homeless than LA, LA's unsheltered dwarfs every other city.
NY has fewer unsheltered homeless than many places a 10th its size and less.
