Census, the Low Response Score in NYC

The Census Bureau developed the Low Response Score (LRS) as a metric to identify the hard-to-survey areas. The higher the LRS value, the lower is the propensity to respond in the census. The following map represents the quantiles of the LRS, breakdown by tracts, in the five boroughs of New York. The darker tracts are the areas where is more difficult to get responses in the census. To create this map I made use of QGIS.
