This report presents poverty estimates using two measures, the official poverty measure and the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM). The official poverty measure, in use since the 1960s, defines poverty by comparing pretax money income to a poverty threshold that is adjusted by family composition. The SPM, first released in 2011 and produced with support from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), extends the official poverty measure by accounting for many government programs that are designed to assist low-income families but are not included in the official poverty measure. The SPM also includes federal and state taxes and work and medical expenses. In addition, the SPM accounts for geographic variation in poverty thresholds, while the official poverty measure does not.

This report presents estimates using the official poverty measure and the SPM for calendar year 2022. The estimates contained in the report are based on information collected in the 2023 and earlier Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplements (CPS ASEC) conducted by the Census Bureau.

On June 29, 2023, Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority issued its first release of 2023 results from the annual homeless count taken in January. The count revealed a 9 percent increase in homelessness for Los Angeles County from 2020 to 2023 (no count was conducted in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). The city of Los Angeles saw a slightly larger 10 percent increase.

According to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, an estimated 75,518 people experienced homeless in Los Angeles County in 2023. Of these, more than 20,000 were provided with shelter. Unsheltered homelessness increased 14% from 2022 to 2023. The number of tents, vehicles, and makeshift shelters visually tallied increased by 7% from 2022 to 2023 (from just under 22,000 to more than 23,000). Nonetheless, since 2019, Los Angeles County has seen a 68% increase in shelter beds for the homeless (from 15,617 in 2019 to 26,245 in 2023). The number of sheltered homeless veterans increased from 735 in 2022 to 1,070 in 2023 (from among 3,878 homeless veterans in 2023). Since 2020, more than 21,000 persons have been placed into permanent housing each year.

A continuing concern, still reflected in the 2023 count, is the percentage of homeless persons who are Black/African American. This racial group represents 32% of homeless in Los Angeles County as compared to only 8% of the African American population in Los Angeles County overall.

The number of homeless minors in 2023 (under the age of 18) was just over 6,200, or 8% of the county's homeless population. This was a slight decrease from more than 6,300 minors counted in 2022. The vast majority were accompanied by at least one parent or guardian.

Although homeless people are found throughout the county, the largest concentrations in 2023 continued to be in the Metro (Central) Los Angeles region (26%), South Los Angeles region (19%) and San Fernando Valley region (15%). Most homeless people are from the Los Angeles area and stay in or near the communities from which they came. About 3% are veterans.

8% are under age 18.

30% are female.
