At least 895,000 people are estimated to be homeless in Europe on any one night, according to the European Federation of National Organisations working with the Homeless (FEANTSA).
This is based on the national statistics in 23 European countries, recording 533,054 people as homeless, and applying the average percentage of homeless people in those countries (0.174%) to Europe's total estimated population in 2022 (513 million).[1]
National definitions and statistics regarding homelessness vary across the 60 nation-states and other territories which constitute contemporary Europe. A general overview of total and homeless populations is provided in the following table.
