Purpose of Fee Table , Note [Text Block] |  | The purpose of the table below is to help you understand all fees and expenses that you, as a holder of Common Shares (“Common Shareholder”), would bear directly or indirectly. The table reflects leverage attributable to floating-rate notes for the year ended November 30, 2022 in an amount equal to 36.3% of the Trust’s total assets and shows Trust expenses as a percentage of net assets attributable to Common Shares. |  |
Management Fee not based on Net Assets, Note [Text Block] |  | The advisory fee paid by the Trust to the Adviser is based on the average weekly gross assets of the Trust, including the principal amount of any indebtedness for money borrowed, the amount of any outstanding preferred shares issued by the Trust and, to a limited extent, the amount of floating-rate notes included as a liability in the Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as described under “The Adviser”. Accordingly, if the Trust were to increase investment leverage in the future, the advisory fee will increase as a percentage of net assets. |  |
General Description of Registrant [Abstract] |  |  |  |
Share Price [Table Text Block] |  | Market and Net Asset Value Information Our Common Shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “EVN.” Our Common Shares commenced trading on the NYSE in 1999. Our Common Shares have traded both at a premium and a discount to net asset value or NAV. We cannot predict whether our shares will trade in the future at a premium or discount to NAV. The provisions of the 1940 Act generally require that the public offering price of Common Shares (less any underwriting commissions and discounts) must equal or exceed the NAV per share of a company’s common stock. Our issuance of Common Shares may have an adverse effect on prices in the secondary market for our Common Shares by increasing the number of Common Shares available, which may put downward pressure on the market price for our Common Shares. Shares of Common Stock of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from NAV. See “Prospectus Summary—Special Risk Considerations—Discount from or premium to NAV” on page 11 of the accompanying Prospectus. The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the high and low closing market prices for Common Shares on the NYSE, and the corresponding NAV per share and the premium or discount to NAV per share at which the Trust’s Common Shares were trading as of the same date. NAV is determined no less frequently than daily, generally on each day of the week that the NYSE is open for trading. See “Determination of Net Asset Value” on page 28 of the accompanying SAI for information as to the determination of the Trust’s net asset value.
| Market Price | NAV per Share on Date of Market Price | NAV Premium/(Discount) on Date of Market Price
Fiscal Quarter Ended | High | Low | High | Low | High | Low
February 28, 2023 | $10.82 | $9.78 | $11.58 | $11.18 | (6.56)% | (12.52)%
On May 8, 2023, the last reported sale price, NAV per Common Share and percentage premium/(discount) to NAV per Common Share, were $10.08, $11.40 and (11.58)%, respectively. As of May 8, 2023, the Trust had 39,667,163 Common Shares outstanding and net assets of $452,295,158. |  |

Capital Stock, Long-Term Debt, and Other Securities [Abstract] |  |  |  |
Capital Stock [Table Text Block] |  | Capitalization We may offer and sell up to 2,610,553 of our Common Shares, $0.01 par value per share, from time to time through the Dealer as sub-placement agent under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. This amount represents Common Shares previously registered on Form N-2 (Reg. No. 333-233835) that are unsold and are being carried forward as permitted by Rule 415(a)(6) and Rule 457(p) under the 1933 Act. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of our Common Shares pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. The table below assumes that we will sell 2,610,553 Common Shares at a price of $10.08 per share (the last reported sales price per share of our Common Shares on the NYSE on May 8, 2023). Actual sales, if any, of our Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be greater or less than $10.08 per share, depending on the market price of our Common Shares at the time of any such sale. To the extent that the market price per share of our Common Shares on any given day is less than the net asset value per share on such day, we will instruct the Dealer not to make any sales on such day. The following table sets forth our capitalization: • on a historical basis as of November 30, 2022 (audited); and • on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect the assumed sale of 2,610,553 Common Shares at $10.08 per share (the last reported sale price for our Common Shares on the NYSE on May 8, 2023), in the Offering under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus, after deducting the assumed commission of $263,144 (representing an estimated commission to the Distributor of 1.00% of the gross proceeds of the sale of Common Shares, of which a certain percentage will be paid to the Dealer in connection with sales of Common Shares effected in the Offering).

There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of the Trust’s Common Shares pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus.

In addition, the price per share of any such sale may be greater or less than the price set forth under “Capitalization” above, depending on market price of the Trust’s Common shares at the time of any such sale.

[3] | Eaton Vance will pay the expenses of the Offering (other than the applicable commissions); therefore, Offering Expenses are not included in the Summary of Trust Expenses. Offering expenses generally include, but are not limited to, the preparation, review and filing with the SEC of the Trust’s registration statement (including this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus and the SAI), the preparation, review and filing of any associated marketing or similar materials, costs associated with the printing, mailing or other distribution of the Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus, the SAI and/or marketing materials, associated filing fees, NYSE listing fees, and legal and auditing fees associated with the Offering.
[4] | The advisory fee paid by the Trust to the Adviser is based on the average weekly gross assets of the Trust, including the principal amount of any indebtedness for money borrowed, the amount of any outstanding preferred shares issued by the Trust and, to a limited extent, the amount of floating-rate notes included as a liability in the Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as described under “The Adviser”. Accordingly, if the Trust were to increase investment leverage in the future, the advisory fee will increase as a percentage of net assets.
[5] | Stated as a percentage of average net assets attributed to Common Shares for the year ended November 30, 2022.
[6] | “Interest Expenses” relate to the Trust’s liability with respect to floating-rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with investments in residual interest bonds. The Trust records offsetting interest income in an amount at least equal to this expense relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions.
