"How long is the lifespan of a homeless person?"

"Duration of homelessness
Research shows that the longer an individual experiences homelessness,
the greater their risk of premature death. One study found mortality
rates doubled after one year of homelessness (23). Prolonged
homelessness leads to deterioration of physical and mental health over
time if living conditions do not improve.

Conclusion

In summary, homelessness substantially increases the risk of premature
mortality. On average, homeless adults die 30 to 40 years earlier than
the general population. Major causes include untreated physical
illnesses, mental disorders, substance abuse, and violence. Groups at
highest risk include women, younger adults, unsheltered homeless, and
those with chronic mental disorders. Reducing homelessness through
improved housing, healthcare access, and community support services
could significantly extend the lifespans of this vulnerable population.
