Fourth Street Clinic

A new report shows people experiencing homelessness in Utah are dying at 10 times the rate of the general population. Many of these deaths are preventable. This is the first time data like this has been available.

Between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, there were 216 deaths identified in people experiencing homelessness in Utah compared to 21,816 deaths in the state’s general population. Data also shows people experiencing homelessness are dying at much younger ages—56 years old on average compared to 72 years of age for the general population.
