Overview
The Rural Business Loan Eligibility Identifier shows areas eligible
for rural business loan program participation. Eligibility is
based upon location with respect to cities of greater than 50,000
people and their associated urbanized area. Areas outside of the
orange area are eligible. If your site is inside the orange area,
you are ineligible. American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern
Mariana Islands, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the
Virgin Islands are all eligible. Eligibility information for Hawaii
is currently not available. For more information
on these areas, contact Debi Raygor.
Map the Data
Go to the Rural Business Loan Eligibility Identifier
First, enter a zip code and click the "Move to" button. The map will
zoom to the zip code entered. Navigate around
the zip code area using the navigation tools on the top portion of
the map. Various layers of the map will appear and disappear,
depending on the scale of the map. If you "zoom
in" several times, you will see local roads and streets. But the map will not display addresses; you must
determine your location relative to the
features on the map. The light yellow areas are eligible. The darker orange areas are ineligible.
