To qualify under the NMTC program, the census tract must meet one of the following two criteria based on the 2000 U.S. Census; (a) poverty rate of at least 20%; or (b) 80% or less of the area's median family income.

Highly Distressed Qualified Census Tract

To qualify as a highly distressed, the census tract must meet one of the following three higher distress criteria based on the 2000 U.S. Census: (I) poverty rate greater than 30%; (II) median family income of 60% or less; or (III) unemployment rate at least 1.5 times the national average of 5.8%.

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.

To use the map, type a specific census tract number, or address into the search field to find out if that census tract is "qualified" under the NMTC program, if it meets "qualified" "highly 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.

A green 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 "Highly Distressed" criteria for the NTMC program. To qualify as highly 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 of 5.8% from the 2000 Census.

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 "Highly Distressed" criteria.

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