5 Countries with the Highest Homeless Population

2. Pakistan

Homeless Population in 2024: 20,000,000

Pakistan has 20 million homeless people living there, which includes kids and older people. The number of homeless people in Pakistan is rising due to inflation, displacement, and poverty. The yearly catastrophic floods in the country contribute further to the crisis, destroying infrastructure and leaving thousands homeless. About 40% of Pakistan’s population does not have a house to live in, and most of them find refuge in slums. While the Pakistani government has launched a shelter initiative, the project has been halted since the pandemic.
