Census Map - Medically Underserved Areas
The communities TCHC serves have changed in profound ways over the past decade.

The following composite map showing MUA census tracts, zip codes and TCHC service sites should be viewed with a critical eye. When MUAs are deemed anew following the 2010 census, this same map may show far more census tracts with concentrations of medically underserved people – this won’t be a surprise to our medical providers.
