Three times more homeless people died in L.A. than in New York City 2020-2021, despite 14,237 fewer homeless in LA than NYC. Why? Because NYC makes people sleep indoors while L.A. lets people sleep outdoors.

Of the 1,988 homeless deaths in Los Angeles between April 2020 and March 2021, 715 were drug-related, 104 were from homicides, and 150 were from traffic injuries. Deaths from drugs, homicide, and traffic increased 78%, 49%, and 33%, respectively, from the prior year.
Of the 640 homeless deaths in New York over a similar period, 237 were drug-related, 22 were from homicides, and just six from traffic injuries. Deaths from drugs increased 81%, but deaths from homicides and accidents did not increase significantly.
