It's National Homelessness Week, and the bad news is that homelessness has risen across the nation.

The number of homeless people across Australia has risen 14 per cent since 2011 to 116,400, according to a new interactive analysis of homelessness data by RMIT ABC Fact Check.

And the increase can't be attributed to population growth alone — the rate of homelessness increased from 47.6 per 10,000 Australians in 2011 to 49.8 in 2016.

But it's not all bad news — both the number of Indigenous homeless people and the rate of Indigenous homelessness have fallen.

All of this is part of Fact Check's newly updated interactive Without a Home — a rigorous deep dive into homelessness at the national and local level.

The fact file allows readers granular access to the homelessness statistics in their area to see what has happened over the last 10 years.
