Homeless Statistics
Note: statistics concerning homeless individuals are difficult to get for a number of reasons including their mobility and varying definitions of "homeless." UN statistics are based on "completely homeless" people. This does not necessarily include all those living in poverty in poor living conditions.
100 million people in the world are homeless. 2005 UN briefing
20-40 million homeless people live in rural areas. 2005 UN briefing
60 million homeless people live in urban areas. 2005 UN briefing
