The New Markets Tax Credit(NMTC)Program supports activities in eligible Low-Income Communities(LICs),which are defined by statute as population census tracts with a poverty
rate of 20 percent or greater or a median family income(MFI)at or below 80 percent of the applicable area median family income(26 USC§45D(e)).Section 223 of the American
Jobs Creation Act of 2004(P.L.108-357,118 Stat.1418)amended the definition of LICs to include,among other things,census tracts in High Migration Rural Counties with a median
family income at or below 85 percent of the applicable area median family income.A High Migration Rural County is any county which,during the 20-year period ending with the
year in which the most recent census was conducted,has a net out-migration of inhabitants from the county of at least 10 percent of the population of the county at the beginning
of such period.The CDFI Fund has identified the following census tracts that,based on 2011-2015 American Community Survey U.S.Census Bureau data,qualify under this special
provision.These are census tracts that have become eligible for NMTC investments pursuant to the American Jobs Creation Act.A list of these qualifying census tracts is below.

The New Markets Tax Credit(NMTC)Program supports activities in eligible Low-Income Communities(LICs),
which are defined by statute as population census tracts with a poverty rate of 20 percent or greater or a
median family income(MR)at or below 80 percent of the applicable area median family income(26 USC
§450(e)):"(1)IN GENERAL—The term'low-income community'means any population census tract if—"(A)
the poverty rate for such tract is at least 20 percent,or"(B)(i(in the case of a tract not located within a
metropolitan area,the median family income for such tract does not exceed 80 percent of statewide
median family income,or"(ii)in the case of a tract located within a metropolitan area,the median family
income for such tract does not exceed 80 percent of the greater of statewide median family Income or the
metropolitan area median family income.Subparagraph(B)shall be applied using possessionwide median
family income in the case of census tracts located within a possession of the United States."Source:

Data Sources.A total of six variables(2011-2015 ACS)were downloaded from the Census Bureau Fact Finder
website(http://factfinder2.census.gov)for the 50 states,the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for
different geographies: 1)51701:census tract poverty rate;2)B19113:census tract median family Income in
the past 12 months;3)52301:census tract employment status;4)B19113:state median family income in
the past 12 months;this variable with 50 observations was downloaded for the 50 states,DC and Puerto
Rico;5)819113:"Core Based Statistical Area"(CBSA)median family income;this variable with 955
observations was downloaded for the metropolitan and micropolitan areas and merged with the census
tracts using the CBSA variable below:July 2015(OMB Bulletin No.15-01).6)CBSA metropolitan and
micropolitan area designation for counties was downloaded from the Census Bureau website
(http://www.census.gov/population/metro/),based on the designations made by the Office of Management
and Budget.Data corresponds to July 2015(OMB Bulletin No.15-01).Other variables:population 801003.
In addition,the territory data was separately downloaded from the Census Bureau Fact Finder website
(http://factfinder2.census.gov)for American Samoa,Guam,Northern Mariana Islands,and Virgin Islands: 1)
PBG76 and PBG82:census tract poverty rate;2)P8047 and PBG72:census tract median family income in
the past 12 months;3)P5038:census tract employment status;4)P1:total population
Methodology.Census tracts are eligible for the NMTC program if they meet any of the following criteria.
First,tracts are eligible if they have a poverty rate equal to or greater than 20%;or if the tract's median
family income in non-metropolitan tracts is equal to or less than 80%of the state median income;or tracts
are eligible if the tract's median family income in metropolitan tracts is equal to or less than 80%of the
maximum median income of state or CBSA median income.
N/A In data cells indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were
available to compute an estimate,ora ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the
median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.
The following is a list of variables in this dataset based on 2011-2015 ACS data
Variable Name Variable Description and Source
The Census Tract number is comprised of 11 digits,including a leading
2010 Census Tract Number APS code zero for states 01 through 09.The first two digits represent the state
code.The next three digits represent the county code.And the remaining
six digits represent the Census Tract code.
CBSA metropolitan and micropolitan area designation for counties was
downloaded from the Census Bureau website
OMB Metro/Non-metro Designation,July 2015(15-01) (http://www.census.gov/population/metro/),based on the designations
made by the Office of Management and Budget.Data corresponds to July
2015(15-01)
Census Tract Poverty Rate%(2011-2015 ACS) 2011-2015 American Community Survey(ACS),Variable 51701:census
tract poverty rate.http://factfinder2.census.gov
Median Family Income%is computed as follows:in the case of a tract not
located within a metropolitan area,the median family income for such
tract does not exceed 80 percent of statewide median family income,or
Census Tract Percent of Benchmarked Median Family Income(%)2011-2015 ACS (il)in the case of a tract located within a metropolitan area,the median
family income for such tract does not exceed 80 percent of the greater of
statewide median family income or the metropolitan area median family
income.
Census Tract Unemployment Rate(%)2011-2015 2011-2015 American Community Survey,Variable 51701:census tract
poverty rate.http://factfinder2.census.gov
Does Census Tract Qualify on Poverty>=20%? Is poverty rate>=20%
Does Census Tract Qualify on Median Family Income<=80%7 Is median family income<=80%
Does Census Tract Qualify For NMTC Program on Poverty or Income? Does tract qualify as Low Income Community based on poverty or median
family income?
County County designation(first five digits of census tract number)
State Abbreviation State abbreviation
State Name State name
County Name County name
This variable is calculated by dividing the census tract unemployment rate
by 8.3 for census tracts located in the 50 states,District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico and by dividing the census tract unemployment rate by 9.3
for census tracts located in the Island Areas of the United States
(American Samoa,Guam,Northern Mariana Islands and the US Virgin
islands).These two geographies have different bases,because the
eligibility data for the island Areas of the United States comes from a
different Census survey and thus has a different national unemployment
rate than the 2011-2015 ACS data.
