Abstract
Is the average age of a United States homeless person nine? No, as the majority of homeless are adults. Yet despite available facts, the claim persists. Evaluating sources related to this claim can form a strong exercise in statistical literacy at college and secondary school levels. This article details our experience in working with this social statistic. It includes background information on homelessness, design considerations, notes from using the exercise in college and high school, and a handout designed for high school use.
