According to 2020 FBI data comparing California to the rest of the nation, per person we had 66% more robberies, 21% more burglaries and 93% more motor vehicles stolen. Federal data also reveals that from 2020 to 2021, homicides increased 7.6%, rapes increased 7.4%, and aggravated assaults were up 8.4%.

How about homelessness? According to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, California is home to 171,521 individuals experiencing homelessness. This is 30% of the nation’s homeless population, despite California making up less than 12% of the nation’s total population.

But wait, there’s more. California also is home to more than 52% of the nation’s unsheltered people – those living on the streets or in parks or cars – and has experienced the largest increase in homelessness of any state.

From 2007 to 2022, California’s homeless population increased 23.4%. It went up 6.2% from just 2020 to 2022. Compare that to Florida, where the homeless population actually decreased 46% and 5.6%, respectively.

Closely related to the homelessness crisis is the issue of housing, or lack thereof. California’s housing supply has trailed the nation for three decades and ranks 49th worst in the U.S. for housing per capita.
