That's weird, because France has a higher rate of homelessness than the US. The French average, 45/100k pop, is comparable to NYC.

Italy is much lower at 8/100k.

In Seattle it is over 400/100k, by some estimates higher than 500/100k.

45/100k would be an incredible improvement.

Though looking up Paris, it is ~200/100k, which is still half of Seattle's rate!

Leave Paris and Marseille and you'll be golden. I'd be curious to see that kind of data.

well get out of the major, mild US cities and it drops substantially as well.

I caution against trying to compare homeless statistics internationally.

The definition of who is homeless and how they are counted varies dramatically between countries to the point where comparing headline numbers is largely useless.
