Tax-free interest. This is a municipal bond, so its interest is generally exempt from federal income tax (and often from state tax if you live in NY). At a 37% federal bracket, its 4.36% yield is worth about a 6.91% taxable-equivalent yield. In other words, a fully taxable bond would need to pay roughly that much to leave you the same after tax. Illustrative, at one assumed bracket. Your own rate and any state tax change the figure; confirm with a tax professional.

Convexity
406.15
tax-exempt level Priced at an indicative municipal level. High-grade munis typically yield below Treasuries pre-tax because the interest is tax-free (the muni/Treasury ratio); this is a model figure, not an observed market spread.

Yield to worst is the lower of yield-to-maturity and yield-to-call: the least-favourable outcome if the issuer redeems early.

Credit context

AA+ Rating AA+ · outlook Stable (representative/indicative, not a live agency feed); drives the model spread

A revenue bond, backed by the income of a specific project or system, not the issuer's general taxing power. Municipal credit is assessed differently from corporations (there's no income statement in the same sense), so the rating shown is representative/indicative. Real ratings, financial disclosures and official statements are published on the MSRB's EMMA.
