2022 U.S. Transgender Survey · Oct 2022 – Dec 31, 2022 · US national
Data flag. INCOMPLETE: sample (~92,000) and topic confirmed, but no toplines were captured although the source reports them (58% denied shelter access, 27% left due to poor treatment, ~30% lifetime homelessness). The source also credits NAEH, not NCTE, as the collaborator on this page.
Not a public-opinion poll. This surveys transgender people about their own lives, mostly
through nonprobability community samples. It describes a population and is not comparable with polls of the general public.

Sources
Verification note. Figures read directly from the National Alliance to End Homelessness brief 'Emergency Shelters', which reports newly released 2022 U.S. Trans Survey data. Marked unverified because (a) no verbatim item wording is published in the brief, so every question_text here is the brief's description; (b) the base for the 58% and 27% shelter figures is not stated and is read from surrounding text rather than from a table; and (c) the field window is given only as 2022. This is the same fielding as any existing 2022 U.S. Trans Survey record in the database - it is emitted so the shelter items are captured, and should be merged into that record rather than kept as a second poll. || figures retrieved from the National Alliance to End Homelessness brief on the 2022 U.S. Transgender Survey. This is a large nonprobability convenience sample of transgender people, not a representative poll of the U.S. public - it belongs in the database as a subpopulation survey. Exact field dates were not retrieved and are recorded at month precision; the sample size (approximately 92,000) is the survey's headline figure.
