Check whether a U.S. address or census tract is New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) eligible as a Low-Income Community, and screen a project's NMTC feasibility. Use when the user asks "is this address/tract NMTC eligible", about "distress criteria", "severe distress", "deep distress", "low-income community" / "LIC" status, or wants a first-pass NMTC deal feasibility score. Backed by the audited PyPI packages nmtc-mapper and nmtc-screener — never estimate eligibility from general knowledge.
