What's going on with the math here? Percent per 100'000?
I was really wondering about that phrasing. So weird.
That's what you have to use because they have fewer people per capita. It's basic math.
But usually, you have total numbers per 100k and that's the percents. % is parts of hundred, no matter what.
Whoosh
Yes, there just shouldn't be a percentage sign. It's not a percentage. The value is probably around 5 something per 100k.
Exactly, the post is meaningless. Unless anyone believes there are fewer than 3000 homeless people in Japan lol.
can't even be bothered to do a simple search huh?

The world is full of people like you, who know NOTHING about a topic yet feel compelled to make false statements about it without doing even the most basic of internet searches to educate themselves lol
According to a January 2025 survey, it is.
That "study" has been ridiculed because they only checked for people living in certain places like public parks. Other estimates run anywhere from 10k to over 100k.
Do you have a link to those estimates?
Yes, google how many homeless people in Japan.
edit: excuse me but why the douchevotes? That's exactly what I did. Do I have to redo it and copypaste a link to the result because somebody doesn't feel like typing in the search themselves? Wow.
Source: Google it bro
That's exactly what I did. If they do it they'll see the same results I saw. I'm not aware of any sort of entitlement that demands handing people links to simple search results.
