Census 2010 "Hard to Count" Interactive Maps
Maps the "hard to count" population nationwide to help organizations who are planning their outreach efforts for the 2010 Census.
The site provides interactive maps at the state, metropolitan area, county and tract level, along with detailed statistics for each area. You can search in various ways, and also add overlays showing Congressional districts, ZIP codes, tract-level maps of 2000 Census mail return rates, and recent foreclosure risk. An FAQ is available.

We've added two new features to thesite:
1. Real-time Twitter feed: The “Twitter” tab now displays a list of the latest Census-related tweets, and also shows them on the map. We’re hoping this will help census advocates find concerned citizens, reporters, nonprofits, and other social networkers who might want to help get the word out for the 2010 Census. For now we’re filtering the tweets with either the #Census or #Census2010 hashtag, but we may add others if people suggest ones we’ve missed.
2. Area-specific HTC info for downloading: When anyone clicks on the map and highlights a state, county, metro area, or tract, we provide the HTC statistics in a popup window, but now they’ll also see a download link so they can access that data directly (in Excel and Open Document formats).
