Challenges: Combining these percentages is complex due to potential overlaps (e.g., some homeless individuals are also incarcerated or at risk of death), varying timeframes (point-in-time vs. lifetime prevalence), and lack of millennial-specific data. A simplistic approach would sum the upper bounds: 2% (dead) + 3% (homeless, lifetime) + 5% (incarcerated, lifetime) = 10%. However, this likely overestimates due to overlaps and non-specific data.
Conservative Estimate: Accounting for overlaps (e.g., homeless individuals being more likely to be incarcerated) and focusing on point-in-time prevalence, a more realistic estimate might be 3–5% of millennial men currently falling into one of these categories, with a lifetime prevalence potentially reaching 6–8%. These figures are highly speculative due to data gaps.
So...10%, or
1 in10...
I then asked: What is the definition of the word decimation?
Definition: Decimation refers to the destruction or killing of a large proportion of a group, often implying severe reduction or devastation. Historically, it specifically denoted a Roman military punishment where one in ten soldiers was executed to discipline a unit. In modern usage, it typically describes significant loss or damage, not necessarily limited to exactly one-tenth.
