About Targeted Areas
Maryland’s Targeted Areas are established by the U.S. Census Bureau, and are geographic zones inside of which there are fewer restrictions for homebuyers using the Maryland Mortgage Program.
Maryland's Counties fall into three categories when it comes to Targeted Areas. Some Counties are fully Targeted Areas. Some Counties have no Targeted Areas in them at all. Other Counties have some areas that are Targeted Areas, and others that are not.
The table below can help you quickly identify whether the area you're looking at could be in a Targeted Area.
