It's a big state! With more than 6.4 million people living in Indiana and nearly 40,000 square miles of land to cover, efforts to promote the census can be helped by knowing where to target messages. That's where the "Hard-to-Count" (HTC) scores (which were derived from 12 variables that are correlated with high nonresponse rates) come in. The IBRC took the data supplied by the Census Bureau and produced maps that will help all of us hone in on the most vulnerable areas of the state and our communities.
