Presents the annual sheltered and unsheltered count, population groups, demographics, and Missouri Continuum of Care comparisons.
The Point-in-Time Count provides a consistent annual snapshot that can be compared across years. It helps the community track broad changes, understand who was counted, and place the Joplin Continuum of Care in statewide context.
The collection route and the public report serve different audiences. Access is identified before anyone follows a link.
Coalition administrators enter and verify published count-year values and source notes.

View Point-in-Time resultsEvery data set has a defined source, public boundary, and limitation. Those distinctions stay visible alongside the results.
The dashboard publishes aggregate count-year values, source context, and known caveats without any person-level records.
The Point-in-Time Count estimates the number of people experiencing homelessness on one designated night. It is not the number of people who experienced homelessness during the full year.
Weather, volunteer coverage, where people stay, and the difficulty of locating everyone can affect the count—especially the unsheltered total.
