A Top 10 with the majority being West Coast cities.

Tampa looks like the surprising entry to me.

Climatology, if you're going to live outdoors/sustain yourself would you choose Boston or Minneapolis? Economics of course is another key factor.

Pretty sure most people don't have the money to move across the country when homeless.

No, but a lot of cities “solve” or lessen their problem by giving one way bus tickets out of town to their homeless.

I'm a bit skeptical about the homeless figures. According to the federal government, I am homeless because I am living with a relative in the relative's house and not living in my own house. Their definition of "homeless' is pretty broad.

Interesting how high Washington D.C. and Chicago are, but Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia aren't listed.
