    What does “percentage change in homelessness per 10,000 residents” mean? I read it to mean that if it says say 85, that is a percentage per 10,000, so I multiply 85 with the number of non-homeless population of the city (residents) and divide by 10,000. The resulting number is the percentage change in homelessness. I’m very confused.
