Recently released data for the first six months of 2024 from Toronto Public Health has found that the median age of death for women experiencing homelessness in the city is just 36.

In 2022, unhoused women who died in Toronto were on average 42 years old. That number was 43 in 2023.

The median age at death for men experiencing homelessness in the first half of 2024 was 50.

Torontonians residents, in general, live much longer with men typically dying at the age of 78 and women at the age of 85, according to 2022 data.

    I would guess your first language isn’t English. “Middle age” is not a statistical term, but a traditional one that arises from dividing adults into three roughly equal-sized age groups:

    • 20-39 years: young
    • 40-59 years: middle age
    • 60+ years: old

    .

    The lower bound will never drop below the traditional 40 years, although there has been some argument from time to time about raising it to match increases in life expectancy.
