How were these 100 people selected?

• I chose these people based on randomness and worked my way backwards from the fist page and kept clicking view older videos.

Different relationships to explore

• most common wishes
• most unique wishes
• most common locations
• age group bins ~ these are very subjective as I eyeballed the people and placed them in age bins based on looks, but being homeless ages people faster and therefore there may be some errors
• Gender and wishes
• Race and wishes
• Age group and wishes

Summary Statistics

Top 3 Wishes:

1. Find a Home
2. See family (children, parents, loved-ones)
3. Find a job

Final Remarks

From this we can learn that most homeless people have nothing and want the bare minimum. It makes one wonder whether we are looking at the world in the right way. From this analysis, it can be seen that those who have the least ask for the least, and those who have the most ask for even more.
