It is impossible to know an exact number of homeless anywhere, but Florida has around 180,000 homeless give or take. They rank 43rd out of 50 in homelessness. Anywhere from 20 â¦-30,000 of those are children who are homeless.
Homelessness declined by 2 percent (or 13,344 people) between 2013 and 2014 and by 11 percent (or 72,718) since 2007. The 11% fall is almost certainly due to the recession. The state concentration makes sense because it matches state population: California accounted for 20 percent of the nationâs homeless population in 2014. Half of the homeless population in the United States was in five states: CA (20% or 113,952 people), NY (14% or 80,590 people), FL (7% or 41,542 people), TX (5% or 28,495 people), and MA (4% or 21,237 people). However, the swing among states was substantial: 1  Between 2013 and 2014, 14 states plus D.C. experienced increases in homelessness. 2  Homelessness decreased in 36 states between 2013 and 2014.
