Understanding the census is key to improving your city’s count

The Census Bureau’s official Resource Outreach Area Mapper (ROAM) application can help you identify hard-to-survey areas. Researchers at the City University of New York created the Hard-to-Count (HTC) map, which shows you areas with high levels of historically undercounted communities, including children under age 5, the largest undercounted group in the country.

These maps are great tools to explore your area’s most undercounted communities and to be able to target your GOTC outreach efforts and funds where they’re needed most.
