I’m not sure why the statistic should be considered interesting.

Like what is the amount of housed population that come to sf from another California city or out of state?

SF is an economic driver of the USA. It will attract people from all over. Sometimes those people will become homeless.

In fact we should expect people in a poor economic situation to move to where the jobs are (ie, sf). That’s the system working. It would be weird that someone struggling with lack of work should stay put and just suffer.
