The CDFI Information Mapping System v.4 (CIMS4) is now available for geocoding addresses, mapping census tracts and counties, and determining the eligibility of census tracts and counties under the CDFI Fund's various program distress criteria. CIMS4 users can create and save maps and reports, including Target Market worksheets, and submit saved maps and reports for online applications as well as other uses.
CIMS4 is available in two versions: a limited public-use version and a full version accessed through your organization's AMIS account.

These database files (.dbf) may be opened in Excel or other programs that are compatible with DBF files. This information does not provide address information, geocoding, or maps.
