Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? High-yield municipal bonds gained ground during the reporting period, with price appreciation augmenting the contribution from income. Declining inflation fueled expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve was set to begin cutting interest rates in 2024, benefiting the broader fixed-income market from November 2023 onward. Municipal bonds were well supported by positive economic growth, strong issuer fundamentals, and favorable supply-and-demand trends. What contributed to performance? Longer-duration securities with maturities of 20 years and longer made the largest contribution, with a significant portion of the positive return coming from bonds having maturities of 25 years and above. (Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity). In terms of credit tiers, the strongest absolute returns came from not rated and BB rated bonds, respectively. Other industries and tax-backed states were the top contributors at the sector level. Among individual securities, Puerto Rico Commonwealth contingent value instruments and Port Beaumont Navigation District of Jefferson County, TX were the top performing bonds. The Fund’s cash position had no material effect on performance. What detracted from performance? At a time of positive returns for the broader market, few aspects of the Fund’s positioning detracted from absolute performance. With that said, certain individual securities lost ground due to issuer-specific developments. For instance, the bonds of the industrial wood-pellet supplier Enviva, Inc. slid in price after the issuer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In addition, the bonds of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority declined as bankruptcy hearing proceedings continued to cloud the outcome for bondholder recovery.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The municipal bond market gained ground during the reporting period, with income playing the largest role in total returns. Declining inflation fueled expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve was set to begin cutting interest rates in 2024, benefiting the broader fixed-income market from November 2023 onward. Municipal bonds were well supported by positive economic growth, strong issuer fundamentals, and favorable supply-and-demand trends. What contributed to performance? Holdings in longer-duration securities (those with above-average interest rate sensitivity) performed well during the reporting period. At the sector level, corporate-backed securities (primarily pre-paid gas) provided the largest absolute returns, followed by transportation, tax-backed states, and utilities. In terms of credit tiers, AA and A rated securities were the strongest performers. The Fund’s cash position had no material effect on performance. What detracted from performance? At a time of positive performance for the broader market, few aspects of the Fund’s positioning detracted from absolute returns. With that said, there were a few BB and non-rated securities that became distressed during the reporting period. For example, the bonds of Michigan Finance Authority for Explore Academy—a charter school—fell sharply after the issuer deferred its interest payments. The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The municipal bond market gained ground during the reporting period, with income playing the largest role in total returns. Declining inflation fueled expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve was set to begin cutting interest rates in 2024, benefiting the broader fixed-income market from November 2023 onward. Municipal bonds were well supported by positive economic growth, strong issuer fundamentals, and favorable supply-and-demand trends. What contributed to performance? Holdings in longer-duration securities (those with above-average interest rate sensitivity) performed well during the reporting period. At the sector level, corporate-backed securities (primarily pre-paid gas) provided the largest absolute returns, followed by transportation, tax-backed states, and utilities. In terms of credit tiers, AA and A rated securities were the strongest performers. The Fund’s cash position had no material effect on performance. What detracted from performance? At a time of positive performance for the broader market, few aspects of the Fund’s positioning detracted from absolute returns. With that said, there were a few BB and non-rated securities that became distressed during the reporting period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The municipal broader bond market gained ground during the reporting period, with income playing the largest role in total returns. Short-term municipals lagged relative to the market as a whole. Declining inflation fueled expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve was set to begin cutting interest rates in 2024, benefiting the broader fixed-income market from November 2023 onward. Municipal bonds were well supported by positive economic growth, strong issuer fundamentals, and favorable supply-and-demand trends. What contributed to performance? Yield was the largest contributor to the Fund’s performance. Positions in lower-rated bonds provided strong absolute returns and outpaced the broader investment-grade market. Yield curve positioning also added value, as did the Fund’s allocation to cash. What detracted from performance? At a time of positive returns for the broader market, few aspects of the Fund’s positioning detracted from absolute performance. With that said, a few individual securities lost ground due to the timing of the purchases. The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results. |

Credit Ratings Selection [Text Block] | For purposes of this report, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&P Global Ratings or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |
