List of sovereign states by homeless population

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is estimated that 150 million people are homeless worldwide.[1] Habitat for Humanity estimated in 2016 that 1.6 billion people around the world live in "inadequate shelter".[2]

Different countries often use different definitions of homelessness. It can be defined by living in a shelter, being in a transitional phase of housing and living in a place not fit for human habitation. The numbers may or may not take into account internal displacement from conflict, violence and natural disasters. Also, they may or may not take into account chronic and transitional homelessness, making direct comparisons of numbers complicated.[3]

Dependent territories

Statistics on homelessness (and other social issues) in dependent territories are often integrated into those for the nation-states to which they are related. However, territories with significant populations often compile their statistics or generate news on homelessness. For example, in Hong Kong in 2017, media reports indicated that 1,800 people were homeless, with the problem mainly attributed to high costs of living.[95]
