What does "percentage change in homelessness per 10,000 residents" mean? I read it to mean that if it says say 85, that is a percentage per 10,000, so I multiply 85 with the number of non-homeless population of the city (residents) and divide by 10,000. The resulting number is the percentage change in homelessness. I'm very confused.

Percentage Change in (Homelessness per 10,000 Residents)
100 -
{[2022 Homeless Population/(2022 Total Population/10,000)
/
1997 Homeless Population /(1997 Total Population/10,000)]
*100}
...mathematically, it's identical to the percentage change in homelessness, but published figures are usually homeless per ten thousand residents just to give a more useable number...
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you
I'm just amazed that even the bottom cities have double digit median rent increases. Fucking leeches
