Latinos have been historically undercounted for decades, in part due to the fact that roughly one in three Latinos live in hard-to-count census tracts. As a result, Latino children are among the most undercounted populations in the United States. Hispanic children under age five were overlooked at twice the rate of young non-Hispanic White children in the 2010 Census; up to 400,000 young Latino children were missed. Being undercounted potentially disadvantages Latino families, communities, and neighborhoods.
