I think that 1 in 3 stat is off. I don't think schizophrenia is common enough to make that kind of figure.
But here is how it makes sense- many of these bums actually inflict insanity upon themselves via something called "amphetamine psychosis". It's basically paranoid schizophrenia brought on by excessive use of something like meth or crack.
What I'm saying is that I don't think most of these homeless nutjobs are naturally crazy. They did it to themselves, or would become sane again if they stopped using drugs for like 12 hours.
you might be right, but people with a predisposition to schizophrenia are also more likely to abuse drugs, so the answer isn't that simple. I'm fairly confident that schizophrenics become homeless so easily because everything else in life is so much harder for them. Often they have a higher than average IQ even, since there is a correlation between IQ and mental illness, but that might just make them that much better at ruining their lives.
people with a predisposition to schizophrenia can also sometimes become permanently schizophrenic if they abuse drugs, since it triggers it. these people often don't know they have a predisposition by the way, so all the retards who glorify psychedelics (joe rogan, sam harris, terence "psychedelics don't work on stupid people" mckenna) should go eat a sheet of LSD, because it's mostly these retards who ruin the lives of those with a predisposition.
that being said, people can have the same symptoms of schizophrenia when they're doing drugs, but, like you said, not have schizophrenia. sometimes they only say crazy delusional shit while on drugs (actually I think everyone does on psychedelics).

1 in 3 homeless are schizophrenic, as opposed to 2% of the population at large. This might not have to do with black or white

Actually blacks have a huge schizophrenic population. It's way more common in blacks than whites.
