**Sources:** Homelessness data is obtained from the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 2022 Point-in-Time estimates. Population data is from the 2021 American Community Survey one-year population estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau. Rent levels are taken from Apartment List’s Rent Estimates data from January 2022.
City names refer to the Continuum of Care (CoC) covering the city. In cases where a CoC covered multiple counties, the rent data for the largest county was used.
