NMTC Interactive Map Instructions

The New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program provides tax credits for new private sector investment in economically distressed communities by certified Community Development Entities (CDEs). This easy to use mapping tool can help you determine if a project can qualify under various criteria for the NMTC program based on its location within eligible census tracts.

This mapping tool provides eligibility data using 2000 census tracts (available for NMTC projects that close before 6/30/13) and 2006-2010 American Community Survey data. Use the Toggle Data button at the top to access the census database you require. To use the map, type a census tract number or address into the search field to determine if that census tract is "qualified" under the NMTC program, and if it meets  “distressed" criteria and whether it qualifies under some of the CDFI Fund’s other programs.

A gray census tract indicates that the area is "Unqualified" under the NMTC program.

An orange census tract indicates that the area is "Qualified" under the NMTC program based on meeting at least one of the following two criteria:

• Poverty rate of at least 20 percent
• Median family income of 80 percent or less of that area’s median family income

A blue census tract indicates that area qualifies under the "Distressed" criteria for the NTMC program. To qualify as "Distressed", the census tract must meet at least one of following three criteria:

• Poverty rate greater than 30 percent
• Median family income of 60 percent or less of that area’s median family income
• Unemployment rate at least 1.5 times the national average (5.8% for 2000 census, 7.9% for 2006-2010 ACS Survey)  
• Using 2006-2010 census, all non-metro tracts that qualify for the program also qualify as “Distressed”

Note: Based on your search, a pop-up box will display on the map showing the eligibility information for the NMTC Program. If the search results for your project indicate that the project is "Qualified", the pop-up box will also display the words "Yes" or "No" to indicate whether it also meets " Distressed" criteria.

Even if your project does not meet Distressed criteria, your project may still be distressed. View the additional qualifiers for distressed census tracts.
