Table 3.
Prevalence of conditions of interest, with 95% confidence intervals, based on the Elixhauser Comorbidities, of the homeless, non-homeless with high area deprivation, and non-homeless with non-high area deprivation. High area deprivation is defined as the top quintile of the Area Deprivation Index (ADI). Comorbidities are listed in order of prevalence in people experiencing homelessness.

Homeless n = 15,920 |
High Area Deprivation n = 351,279 |
