: Minor WisdomSo how many homeless people do we have in New Orleans?
Everyone who?s been by the intersection of Canal Street and Claiborne Avenue has seen them. Under the Claiborne overpass is a large encampment of homeless people. To see them?so many of them?is to know that we are failing.
But I didn?t know until a few minutes ago how prevalent homelessness is in New Orleans. The homeless in New Orleans number 12,000, which is 4% of the population. That?s 1 out of 25. The average in the United States is 1 out of 400.
So reports USA Today in two stories by Rick Jervis: New Orleans? homeless rate swells to one in 25 residents and Many still feel wrath of storm: New Orleans wrestles with growing numbers living on city's streets. (Hat tip: God?s Politics.)
