Sleeping Rough != Homeless though. Granted, almost everyone who sleeps rough is homeless, but not every homeless sleeps rough. Japan only counts people sleeping rough as homeless though.

Also there's the element of being seen sleeping rough. There are plenty of people sleeping rough out there, but they don't want to be seen that way so they keep to themselves and stay away from the general public, getting across the idea that there aren't many of them.
