Hey, so I was wrong in saying the UK has 10x the homelessness rate of the US. I used a stat from the video that "approximately one in fifty Londoners are now homeless." That's London, not the UK. Thanks for catching that -- I will update my post.

But also, uh, you're wrong too! Your numerator for the UK figure is actually an estimate for homeless people in England, while your denominator includes the whole UK.

Fair enough. (England's population is 57 million, so that's 0.62 % in England.)

Homelessness is a housing issue first, a poverty issue second. See housing as a game or musical chairs. If you don't have enough, the one getting stuffed first are the slowests (in that case, the unemployed poor, then the working poor).

You probably don't want to get your stats from random youtube videos.
