| Description | Census takers counted some 90,000 men, women and children who were homeless in Los Angeles County during an exhaustive three-day head count in January - a number roughly equal to the population of Santa Barbara.
The numbers from the street count were higher than previous estimates, which indicated that between 78,000 and 84,000 people were homeless in the county at any given time. The count also raised the estimate of the number of people who are chronically homeless, from 7,500 to 35,000. It also showed that Los Angeles far outstrips New York, Chicago and San Francisco in the size of its homeless population. |
