This is interesting. I understand why older people are becoming homeless at higher rates since 2020, but I don’t understand why that age group historically has been more homeless during the decades studied.
Weird.

“First, across all decades, the peak age groups in the distribution (34-36 in 1990; 40-42 in 2000; 49-51 in 2010; and 55-57 in 2020) are composed of persons born from the mid-1950s to mid-1960s, demonstrating a persistent cohort effect. Second, older persons composed a substantially larger share of the sheltered population in 2020 relative to earlier years; in 2020, those aged 60 years and above accounted for 18.8% (17 950 of 95 251) of the sheltered adult male population compared with 7.1% in 2000 (5830 of 82 420), a roughly 3-fold increase in absolute numbers.”
