Statistics on Homelessness
More than 60% of Oregon’s homeless population sleep on the streets or in cars, according to the executive order declared by Oregon Gov. Kotek. That’s the fourth-highest rate of unsheltered homelessness in the country, and the nation’s highest rate of unsheltered homelessness for families with children.
While Oregon’s population represents 1.3% of the total U.S. population, Oregon’s homeless population represents 2.6% of the total U.S. homeless population.
