Twenty Cities with the highest homeless population

It is very hard to get good data on the homeless population.  This is partially because homeless people don't want to get counted, and partially because there is an incentive on the part of the "do-gooders" to exaggerate the numbers so they get more funding.  This is my best estimate, after about an hour of research.  Note that this includes only the "unsheltered" homeless, or where that number isn't available, the "chronic" homeless.  These are the folks in tents or under bridges.  People who live in transitional housing or even homeless shelters by (my) definition aren't homeless.  Most of these are on the West Coast.

Los Angeles	44,214
San Jose/Santa Clara	6,020
San Francisco	4,595
Las Vegas	4,353
Oakland	4,071
New York City	4,000
Orange County	3,961
Sacramento	3,676
Seattle	3,500
Honolulu	3,475
Phoenix	3,300
Portland	2,869
Houston	2,291
Chicago	2,056
San Diego	1,991
Detroit	1,700
Dallas/Ft Worth	1,452
Austin	1,086
Miami	1,008
Boston	985

New York City has the highest homeless population in the country, with about 77,000, but more than 95% of these are in shelters.  Chicago claims 86,000 in 2017, but this includes 70,000 who "lived doubled-up".  Los Angeles claims 59,000 homeless, but about 75% of these are unsheltered.

Update:
Baltimore should be on this list.  Taking a total homeless population in Maryland of 6576, of which half are in Baltimore/Baltimore County and 3/4 of which are unsheltered, gives 2466.
