Interactive Tool for Visualizing Data from Los Angeles Homeless Counts in 2016 and 2017

September 1, 2018 / By Paul Beeman / Economic Roundtable

User options for visualizing homeless data include comparing results from 2016 and 2017 for everyone who was homeless or for individuals who were sheltered or unsheltered, and subgroups broken out by gender, ethnicity, age, as well as a menu of detailed population characteristics. Results that can be compared include the size of each population group in 2016 and 2017, as well as the reasons people in each group gave for the cause of their homelessness, and their employment status.
