Homelessness and housing instability by district
Students identified as homeless (McKinney-Vento count). 2024 compared with 2022. Good ●●●
Select a column heading to sort. Blank means the publisher did not report that area; "suppressed" means the publisher withheld a small number; "not shown" means this site withheld it (fewer than 30 survey respondents).
The county column comes from the district-to-county table, for reading county measures alongside district ones. State charter schools and other statewide units have no single county.

Source: GaDOE FY24 McKinney-Vento student count (2023-24); federal EDFacts homeless-student files (2017-18 to 2021-22, district level). The statewide figure is the state's own stated total for 2023-24 (46,070; the federal file for the same year reports 44,445). District counts for 2017-18 to 2021-22 come from the federal files; the 2022-23 and 2023-24 federal files refuse automated download and are not yet included. The state's 2023-24 sheet shows a zero for 48 districts with fewer than 15 students.
