Almquist and Hagopian Co-Author New Study Calling for Demographic Engagement with U.S. Homelessness Crisis

Despite growing recognition of homelessness as a human rights issue, including its formal recognition by the United Nations in 2021, demographic research on this vulnerable population remains limited. In a new article, CSDE Affiliates Zack W. Almquist (Sociology) and Amy Hagopian (Health Systems and Population Health), along with co-author Paul Hebert (Health Systems and Population Health), argue for greater demographic attention to the enumeration and measurement of people experiencing homelessness in the United States. Published in the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research in a special issue on population inequality matters, the study highlights how core demographic tools and demographic outlets have been underutilized in understanding a crisis affecting millions of people worldwide, and over 770,000 individuals, on any given night, in the United States alone. Read the full study here.
