New Online Mapping Tool for Targeting HTC Tracts

This interactive map provides amazing detail of data on why specific areas throughout the entire United States are “hard to count.” The map not only pinpoints census tracts throughout the entire United States that the Census Bureau considers difficult to enumerate, it also displays the detailed demographic and housing characteristics that the Census Bureau believes will create challenges to achieving an accurate count in certain communities.
The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund is said to be producing a tutorial to help people use the map. Check out their census website (which has many other terrific resources) to find the tutorial when it becomes available.
We would like to encourage you to email the creators at cunymapping@gc.cuny.edu and ask to add your group in the Local Resources tab which pops up when clicking on a certain tract. For instance, SCSJ has asked the creators to add our website for census tracts in Durham, NC.
