The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released its Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to congress last week, assessing the homeless crisis from coast to coast.

In a surprising turnabout, HUD estimates that, while homelessness in general rose all across America (thanks to increases in major metros with high housing prices), the number of people chronically without housing declined year over year in San Francisco—albeit it by a small margin.

And yet, San Francisco’s housing woes are still so drastic that more than one percent of America’s homeless live within the small confines of San Francisco.

Here’s some of the report’s key findings:

Estimating the homeless population remains a tricky and elusive process. The HUD count is noticeably different from the city’s own bi-annual homeless count and from figures provided by groups like the US Conference of Mayors. The HUD count, conducted on a single night in January, yielded a figure of 6,858 individuals in SF. That’s a lot less than the city’s own most recent count of 7,499 around the same time. But since point in time head counts are in imperfect tool at best, it’s almost impossible to say which figure is closer to the truth.
