The dashboard displays socioeconomic and demographic profile of a selected census tract using American Community Survey (ACS) estimates which will allow MDP to develop a targeted strategy to help improve the census response rate across the state. Watch a brief tutorial video to assist you in using the Predicted Low Response Areas for Census 2020 in Maryland dashboard.
Response Outreach Area Mapper (ROAM) application
The Response Outreach Area Mapper (ROAM) application by the U.S. Census Bureau was developed to make it easier to identify hard-to-survey areas and to provide a socioeconomic and demographic characteristic profile of these areas using American Community Survey (ACS) estimates.

Mapping Hard to Count (HTC) Communities for a Fair and Accurate 2020 Census
The decennial census has historically missed certain communities — communities of color, urban and rural low-income households, immigrants, and young children — at disproportionately high rates. Being undercounted deprives these communities of equal political representation and private and public resources. Usually concentrated in certain geographies, these are known as Hard to Count areas.
The City University of New York's Center for Urban Research has produced an interactive map showing the
Hard to Count areas identified by the U.S. Census Bureau for the 2020 Census.
