Why was hooverville so hard to find?

Hoovervilles were difficult to find because they were often makeshift communities constructed by homeless people during the Great Depression in the 1930s. They were often situated in marginalized and hidden areas out of sight of authorities and the general public. The name "Hooverville" itself was a reflection of the widespread discontent with President Herbert Hoover's handling of the economic crisis.
