Speakers: Steven Romalewski & Howard Shih

The Census 2010 Hard-To-Count Interactive Map provides a powerful, interactive mapping tool for community groups, local governments, the media, public officials, and others to help boost participation in the 2010 Census.

The mapping site not only pinpoints census tracts that the U.S. 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, allowing census advocates to tailor their activities and messages to address specific barriers, such as language difficulties or low educational attainment.

The Asian American Federation is leading a grassroots Census 2010 campaign to build awareness and motivation to participate in the upcoming Census. The goal of the campaign is to encourage collaboration among all the Asian community organizations active in Census 2010 outreach and to help those organizations target hard to count Asian populations.
