Homelessness in Santa Clara County has gone up 63% in the last decade

* "Confidential" locations are domestic violence shelters, which are not publicly disclosed.
** There are approximately 4 unsheltered unhoused residents between Los Altos Hills and Monte Sereno as of the 2025 point-in-time count. The county's report did not publish numbers for cities with homeless populations fewer than 11 due to the point-in-time count's small sample size.
