HUD Point-in-Time counts for each Continuum of Care (CoC) and year, broken down by shelter type and subpopulation – including household type (individuals, families), veterans, chronically homeless, youth, and the demographic breakdowns HUD reports (gender, race/ethnicity, age). Long format, one row per CoC x year x shelter x subpopulation.

Usage

pit_coc_detail

Format

A data frame with one row per CoC-year-shelter-subpopulation and 5 variables:

coc_num

CoC number, e.g. "WA-500".

year

Year.

shelter

Shelter type: Overall, Sheltered Total, Sheltered ES (emergency shelter), Sheltered TH (transitional housing), Sheltered SH (safe haven), or Unsheltered.

subpopulation

Subpopulation / demographic category (All for the unrestricted count).

count

Number of people (NA if not collected that year).

Source

HUD AHAR Part 1 PIT estimates, from the PIT-by-CoC workbook (see hud2007).

Details

The grid is completed across years, so a subpopulation HUD only began reporting in a later year (or a category whose definition changed, e.g. the 2023 race/ethnicity revision) is NA in years it was not collected rather than missing.

Gender: the gender categories (Woman, Man, Transgender, Non Binary, More Than One Gender, Gender Questioning) are available 2013–2024 only. HUD dropped the gender breakdown from the 2025 PIT-by-CoC release, so gender is NA from 2025 onward and will remain unavailable in this data source unless HUD restores it. Join to CoC geography by coc_num (= coc2024$COCNUM); for a county version see county_pit_detail.
