Given a polarized variation of Hodge structures, the Hodge locus is a countable union of proper algebraic subvarieties where extra Hodge classes appear. In this talk, I will explain a general equidistribution theorem for these Hodge loci and explain several applications: equidistribution of higher codimension Noether-Lefschetz

loci, equidistribution of Hecke translates of a curve in the moduli space of abelian varieties and equidistribution of some families of CM points in Shimura varieties. The results of this talk are joint work with Nicolas Tholozan.
