The U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) maintains data for Qualified Census Tracts (QCT). Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Qualified Census Tracts must have 50 percent of households with incomes below 60 percent of the Area Median Gross Income (AMGI) or have a poverty rate of 25 percent or more. This layer contains all Census Tracts in LA County, with QCT marked as "Yes" and tracts that are not QCT as "No."This layer is an export of the 2025 data. Source data is updated annually. Data are at the 2020 census tract geography level. These have been joined to Supervisorial Districts 2021 and SPAs 2022, based on a "majority in" spatial join.To learn more: https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/qct.htmlFor more information, please contact egis@isd.lacounty.gov.

A Qualified Census Tract (QCT) is any census tract (or equivalent geographic area defined by the Census Bureau) in which at least 50% of households have an income less than 60% of the Area Median Gross Income (AMGI). HUD has defined 60% of AMGI as 120% of HUD's Very Low Income Limits (VLILs), which are based on 50% of area median family income, adjusted for high cost and low income areas.

These layers represent census tracts (or portions of tracts) in New York State that may qualify for New York State’s historic tax credit programs. These programs are administered by the New York State Division for Historic Preservation, also known as the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). For more information, see SHPO’s Tax Credit Programs web page: https://parks.ny.gov/shpo/tax-credit-programs/The current layers are effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026. They derive from data in yearly updates to the American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates. The most recent data used in these layers are the 2019–2023 estimates.The basic qualifying criteria are based on Table B19113 of the American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates. This table represents Median Family Income in the Past 12 Months (in Inflation-adjusted Dollars). If a tract’s median family income minus its margin of error is less than or equal to the statewide median family income plus the statewide margin of error, then it qualifies for the commercial and state homeowner tax credit programs. Properties in certain cities may qualify for the state homeowner tax credit program, even if they are in census tracts that do not meet the basic qualifying criteria. The enhanced qualifying criteria are based on Table S1701 of the American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates. This table represents Poverty Status in the Past 12 Months as a percentage. If a city’s estimated percentage below poverty level plus the margin of error is greater than or equal to 15.5%, then all locations within the city boundary qualify for the state homeowner tax credit program.If a tract or city no longer meets the criteria, its qualifying status is extended for a two-year grace period.If you have questions about the tax credit programs or the information in these layers, please see SHPO’s Contact page for a list of staff who review projects in your county.

This data layer shows U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designated Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs). QCTs are census tracts in which 50 percent or more of the households have an income which is less than 60 percent of the area median gross income for a specific year or 25 percent of the population is below the poverty line. QCTs are designated annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development HUD and are based on Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), 2010 Decennial Census data and the most recent three sets of American Community Survey (ACS) data. The income limits used to designate QCTs are based on these MSA definitions with modifications to account for substantial differences in rental housing markets (and in some cases median income levels) within MSAs.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Qualified Census Tracts must have 50 percent of households with incomes below 60 percent of the Area Median Gross Income (AMGI) or have a poverty rate of 25 percent or more. Difficult Development Areas (DDA) are designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and are based on Fair Market Rents, income limits, the 2010 census counts, and 2006–10 5-year American Community Survey data when they becomes available. Beginning with the 2016 DDA designations, metropolitan DDAs will use Small Area Fair Market Rents (FMRs) rather than metropolitan-area FMRs for designating metropolitan DDAs.

The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is a tax incentive intended to increase the availability of low income housing. Section 42 provides an income tax credit to owners of newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated low-income rental housing projects. The dollar amount of the LIHTC available for allocation by each state (the "credit ceiling") is limited by population. Each state is allocated credit based on $1.25 per resident. States may carry forward unused or returned credit derived from the credit ceiling for one year; if not used by then, credit goes into a national pool to be allocated to states as additional credit. State and local housing agencies allocate the states credit ceiling among low-income housing buildings whose owners have applied for the credit. The LIHTC reduces income tax liability. It is taken annually for a term of ten years and is intended to yield a present value of either (1) 70 percent of the "qualified basis" for new construction or rehabilitation that are not federally subsidized (i.e., financed with tax-exempt bonds or below-market federal loans), or (2) 30 percent of the qualified basis for the cost of acquiring certain existing projects or projects that are federally subsidized. The actual credit rates are adjusted monthly for projects placed in service after 1987. The qualified basis represents the product of the "applicable fraction" of the building and the "eligible basis" of the building. The applicable fraction is based on the number of low income units in the building as a percentage of the total number of units, or based on the floor space of low income units as a percentage of the total floor space of residential units in the building. The eligible basis is the adjusted basis attributable to acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction costs (depending on the type of LIHTC involved). In the case of buildings located in designated Qualified Census Tracts or designated Difficult Development Areas (DDA), eligible basis can be increased up to 130 percent of what it would otherwise be. This means that the available credit also can be increased by up to 30 percent. For example, if the 70 percent credit is available, it effectively could be increased up to 91 percent. There is a limit on the number of Qualified Census Tracts in any Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA) that may be designated to receive an increase in eligible basis: all of the designated census tracts within a given MSA/PMSA may not together contain more than 20 percent of the total population of the MSA/PMSA. For purposes of HUD designations of Qualified Census Tracts, all non-metropolitan areas in a state are treated as if they constituted a single metropolitan area. Data is current as of: 02/07/2013

The Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund, a division of the US Department of the Treasury, administers the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC). The NMTC Program incentivizes community development and economic growth through the use of tax credits that attract private investment to distressed communities. This layer depicts area that are NMTC Qualified.New Market Tax Credit Program Note that the latest eligibility criteria use Census American Community Survey (ACS) 2016-2020 estimates.

These geospatial data resources and the linked mapping tool below reflect currently available data on three categories of potentially qualifying Low-Income communities: Census tracts that meet the CDFI's New Market Tax Credit Program's threshold for Low Income, thereby are able to apply to Category 1. Census tracts that meet the White House's Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool's threshold for disadvantage in the 'Energy' category, thereby are able to apply for Additional Selection Criteria Geography. Counties that meet the USDA's threshold for Persistent Poverty, thereby are able to apply for Additional Selection Criteria Geography. Note that Category 2 - Indian Lands are not shown on this map. Note that Persistent Poverty is not calculated for US Territories. Note that CEJST Energy disadvantage is not calculated for US Territories besides Puerto Rico. The excel tool provides the land area percentage of each 2023 census tract meeting each of the above categories. To examine geographic eligibility for a specific address or latitude and longitude, visit the program's mapping tool.

This map is made using content created and owned by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (Esri user HUD.Official.Content). The map uses their Low to Moderate Income Population by Tract layer, filtered for only census tracts in Monroe County, NY where at least 51% of households earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The map is centered on Rochester, NY, with the City of Rochester, NY border added for context. Users can zoom out to see the Revitalization Areas for the broader county region.The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program requires that each CDBG funded activity must either principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meet a community development need having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet that need. With respect to activities that principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, at least 51 percent of the activity's beneficiaries must be low and moderate income. For CDBG, a person is considered to be of low income only if he or she is a member of a household whose income would qualify as "very low income" under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program. Generally, these Section 8 limits are based on 50% of area median. Similarly, CDBG moderate income relies on Section 8 "lower income" limits, which are generally tied to 80% of area median. These data are derived from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) and based on Census 2010 geography.Please refer to the Feature Layer for date of last update.Data Dictionary: DD_Low to Moderate Income Populations by Tract
