This table shows the most current numbers on San Franciscans ages 16 through 24, based on statistics gathered from the Transitional Age Youth Task Force (2007). Because many of these young people can be counted in more than one category, these numbers cannot just be added up to give a total population estimate. We estimate 5,000 to 8,000 youth in San Francisco are in need of coordinated services.
