I don't know how valid those stats are but those are per capita numbers not absolute numbers, so not twice as many total homeless:
Sweden: 10,230,000/10,000*36 = 36,828 homeless
US: 328,200,000/10,000*17 = 649,740 homeless
Sweden: 10,230,000/10,000*36 = 36,828 homeless
US: 328,200,000/10,000*17 = 649,740 homeless
Of course they are. Why would you use anything else to compare countries?
> 2x the homeless of the US.
to me that reads as total homeless population, not a function of population.
