In the Spring of 2020, I worked with a small studio to improve 2020 Census counts in the Puerto Rican community of Cataño. This report is the result of four months of work. Unfortunately, the end of this project marked the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US and our work was promptly halted. Due to the pandemic, the census count was stopped prematurely in November [Link]. Click to see the full report.
