Homelessness The Missouri Balance of State (BoS) CoC conducts a Point-in-Time Count throughout its 101 county geographic area each year as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The count helps Missourians monitor trends in the homeless population and increases public awareness of homelessness. The unsheltered Point in Time Count was not conducted nationally in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in 2022, the Missouri Balance of State Continuum of Care ceased publishing Point in Time Count data at the county level due to the potential legal ramifications of HB1606. For Missouri Balance of State Continuum of Care Point in Time Count reports, please visit: https://moboscoc.org/resources/data/point-in-time-count-reports/ For homeless data for Boone County, please visit: https://www.bcceh.org/data Bolded values indicate margins of error, hover over them to view in detail.

Occupied Housing Units: Owner- and Renter-Occupied The number and percent of occupied housing units which are owned and rented. Owner-occupied housing indicates more stable neighborhoods than places with high levels of renter-occupied housing. Columbia and Boone County have relatively high rates of renters because of the high student populations. Bolded values indicate margins of error, hover over them to view in detail.
