Maybe, but the way homelessness is usually counted aka “the street count” always massively under counts. Even a bullshit statistical model will probably get closer to the actual number.

That’s true. Counting tents cannot account for those sleeping in cars or the houses of friends and relatives.

Even just people on the street. There are surprising number of nooks and crannies to hide in a city. Are the counters going to the 5th floor of an abandoned industrial site? How about along no longer used rail lines that are now heavily wooded? Are they going into culverts?
