I analyzed homeless deaths from hypothermia and other underlying conditions from 2016-2020 in Los Angeles for @LATACO. I found that more unhoused ppl died of hypothermia during years that in rained more and nearly all deaths occurred in Dec, Jan & Feb. https://www.lataco.com/homeless-la-death-hypothermia/

In Los Angeles, homeless people died of hypothermia and other underlying conditions in parking lots, alleys, trailers, churches, and on sidewalks. In Pomona, West Covina, Canyon Country, Burbank, Downey, Long Beach, Lynwood, and DTLA.

More homeless people in L.A. died in part from hypothermia in January than any other month. In 2016, three unhoused people died of hypothermia and other underlying conditions in four days in January. In 2018, five unhoused people died the first month of the year.

More than a quarter of people that died from hypothermia and other underlying conditions in Los Angeles between 2016 and 2020 were found with wet clothes or in the rain.
