Definition: Percentage of public school students recorded as being homeless at any point in the school year, by type of nighttime residence (e.g., among California students who were homeless at some point during the 2021 school year, 3.5% were unsheltered).
Data Source: California Dept. of Education, Coordinated School Health and Safety Office custom tabulation (Feb. 2023).
Footnote: Years presented are the final year of a school year (e.g., 2020-21 is shown as 2021). A student may be recorded as homeless in more than one school, school district, or county during a school year; as a result, these data may include duplicate counts of homeless students. Data for 2015 are not available due to changes in reporting. The notation S refers to percentages that have been suppressed because there were fewer than 80 total homeless students. N/A means that data are not available.
