5% of the San Francisco population is Black. 37% of the homeless population is. They are over-indexed by 740%. Why is this the case? How is our mismanagement of the homelessness situation in SF perpetuating this inequality?
Please provide source. I know it’s a high % but do not believe that high (I recall high 30’s). Furthermore, significant % of crime in SF is committed by non-SF residents. Therefore, comparing only to the SF population is murky, potentially misleading.

Thank you for this. Was asking for source on incarceration % cited by netfire. But, appreciate both.

"The criminal justice system is racist. That’s true across the country, and it’s true in San Francisco. Even though African Americans make up at most 5% of San Francisco’s population, they make up about 50% of the people in San Francisco’s jails."

How many of those in sf jails were SF residents. A lot of the dealers and thefts are coming from east bay residents
