See how homelessness and substance abuse intersect in the newest numbers, including a 2025 snapshot of overdose risk and treatment gaps that are harder to ignore when you compare who gets help versus who does not.

Age Statistics
Age pressure is rising fast, from the OECD projecting older worker employment of 55% by 2030 to global spending on health for people 65+ reaching about $6.4 trillion in 2023 and dementia care in the US alone at an estimated $345 billion each year. At the same time, digital life is spreading, with 74% of US seniors using the internet and the EU seeing 52% of 65 to 74 year olds buying online, setting up a striking contrast between care costs and everyday connectivity.

Prostitution In Chicago 2023 Statistics
Chicago’s prostitution landscape in 2025 and 2026 is shaped by a clear divide between where arrests concentrate and where reported incidents cluster, and the page lays out the numbers behind that mismatch. If you want to understand what changed and why enforcement pressure does not line up neatly with activity, this is the quickest place to see it.
Age Discrimination Statistics
Age discrimination claims are increasingly tied to how employers treat older workers during hiring and the first months on the job, and the latest figures for 2025 and 2026 highlight just how often age is used as a shorthand for “fit.” Before you assume it is just bias in hiring, these statistics show where the evidence is strongest and where it is most likely to be missed.
