The pie chart depicts that homeless people in the UK are homeless for a variety of reasons, shown in proportions.
The chart highlights five key factors: The highest proportion of people who are homeless are due to loss of accommodation with relatives and friends, while the lowest reasons for homelessness are mortgage and rent arrears and loss of tenancy. The other two proportions are smaller variations.
Firstly, the majority of reasons for homelessness are loss of accommodation with relatives and friends, taking up 34%. The smallest proportion of reasons for homelessness are mortgage and rent arrears, accounting for only 9%. However, the second-smallest proportion is loss of tenancy, which stands at 13%.
Secondly, relationship breakdowns as a reason for homelessness are smaller variations, taking up 24%, respectively, while other reasons for homelessness now account for 19%. There is only a 5% difference between these two proportions of reasons for homelessness.
