WHAT CONSTITUTES A HARD-TO-COUNT TRACT?

0
10

Census tracts are assigned a score from 0 to 120, based on a variety of factors. The higher the score the more at risk the census tract is of being undercounted. The most important factor contributing to a tract’s hard-to-count score is the percentage of residents who returned their census questionnaire in the previous census. The lower the percentage, the higher the hard-to-count score. In addition, demographic indicators such as poverty, low educational attainment, unemployment, complex household arrangements, high mobility, minority language status, and housing indicators such as high percentage of renters and vacant units, multi-unit buildings, crowded housing, and lack of telephones all contribute to a higher hard to count score.
