Disadvantaged Community Matrix

Points for community based on the Community MHI:

Step 4: Determine the allowed points based on the County Unemployment Rate. County where the community is located:

County Unemployment Rate, 3 mo. avg (IWIN): State Unemployment Rate, 3 mo. avg (IWIN):

County Unemployment Rate Points Criteria (County rate is…)

Greater than or Less than State rate County Rate > (State rate + 20%)

Points

Greater than or Equal to 20% more than State rate Less than 20% more than the State rate, and Greater than or Equal to 10% more than State rate Less than 10% more than the State rate or Is equal to the State rate Less than the State rate and Greater than 10% less than the State rate Greater than or equal to 10% less than State rate

(State Rate + 19.9%) > County rate > (State rate + 10%)

(State Rate + 9.9%) > County rate > or = State rate

State rate > County rate > (State rate – 9.9%)

County rate > (State rate – 10%)

Points for the community based on the County Unemployment Rate:

Step 5: Determine the allowed points based on the Bond Rating of the community. Bond Rating of the Community over the last year (submitted by the community) :

Bond Rating Points: Criteria

Points

Community is at or below investment grade, or has no bond rating

1 0

Community is above investment grade

Points for community based on the Bond Rating:

Step 6: Add up the total points.

Ratio points (Step 2): Community MHI points (Step 3): County Unemployment Rate points (Step 4): Bond Rating points (Step 5): DCM Point Total:

Step 7: Disadvantaged Community Determination Ratio from Step 1: If the ratio is  2%, the regulated entity and community will be considered disadvantaged. If the ratio is <1%, the regulated entity and community will not be considered disadvantaged. DCM Point Total from Step 6: If the DC M Point Total is 12 or greater (12‐20), the regulated entity and community will be considered disadvantaged. If the DCM Point Total is 11 or less (2‐11), the regulated entity and community will not be considered disadvantaged.
