In January 2015, volunteers nationwide counted 546,580 homeless people in the United States.

This visualisation shows those homeless people as dots, repositioning and colouring them according to geography, economic factors, and social considerations to reveal insights about the problem of homelessness.

1 dot = 5 homeless.
