How Louisiana chose

Treasury published the final list on October 30, 2026. Louisiana designated 156 of 621 eligible tracts, its full allocation, in 56 of 62 counties with eligible tracts. Designations take effect January 1, 2027 and run through December 31, 2036. Treasury's October list has 1 more eligible tract here than the April appendix, qualified under its missing-data rules; 0 were designated.

Compared with the eligible tracts it passed over, Louisiana favored former OZ 1.0 tracts, less dense tracts and tracts with prior NMTC deals.

Trait Designated Passed over
Former OZ 1.0 tract 39.7% 14.6%
Rural (QROF) 52.6% 49%
Urban Institute Tier 1 20.5% 13.1%
Median poverty rate 30.3% 28.8%
Median family income, % of area 61.4% 64.2%
Residents of color (mean) 60.9% 63.2%
Median density, people / sq mi 776 1,462

Poverty and income: Treasury's own eligibility figures (ACS 2020–2024). Demographics: ACS 2020–2024. Former OZ 1.0 = at least half the tract's land area was in a 2018 QOZ. How every state compares →

108 OZ 1.0 tracts in Louisiana were not redesignated. They stay OZ 1.0 zones through December 31, 2028, but under Notice 2026-40 new capital after 2026 generally cannot enter them except under a working capital safe harbor plan adopted by December 31, 2026. If a project in one of these tracts is mid-stream, that deadline is the one that matters. The county table below shows where they are. Transition rules →
Record: how Louisiana ran its nomination input process

Nomination process

The lead agency has been identified, but no public process has been published yet. Contact information is below.

LED has not published a single statewide nomination portal, application window, or scoring rubric, but a decentralized intake process is visibly underway at the parish level: in May 2026, for example, the Bossier Parish Police Jury formally voted to approve and submit four tract recommendations to LED for state-level review. If your parish hasn't already done this, ask your parish police jury or council to pass a similar resolution forwarding its priority tracts to LED — that appears to be the operative pathway right now, alongside calling LED directly at 800-450-8115. Come prepared with the census tract number, any existing investor interest, and whether the tract carries a rural flag under Rev. Proc. 2026-14. (Note: opportunitylouisiana.gov also references an "Opportunity Zones Web Portal," but that is a separate investor-matching tool for existing OZ projects, not a nomination intake form.)

Designated tracts by county

The county is usually the first local partner on an OZ deal — zoning, infrastructure, incentives. CDEs listed are New Markets Tax Credit allocatees that have already financed deals inside this county's designated tracts: the organizations with a working track record of underwriting there.

Reading the signals for projects

  • Rural / QROF — a rural QOF investment gets a 30% basis step-up at five years, and existing buildings need only 50% improvement. Rehab of existing stock pencils here in ways it does not elsewhere. Mechanics →
  • Housing pressure — mostly renters, most of them cost-burdened. Housing deals here have demand; they also carry displacement risk, which is where community benefit terms matter.
  • High vacancy — vacant structures to bring back. Pair with the 50% rural improvement threshold where both apply.
  • UI Tier 1 — the Urban Institute's read that private capital is likely to come and the impact would be larger.

Reading the signals for partners

  • NMTC track record — the listed CDEs have underwritten deals in this exact tract. They know the market and can layer NMTC with OZ equity. How they stack →
  • CRA-eligible — bank investment here earns CRA credit. Start with community development officers at banks with branches in the county.
  • Former OZ 1.0 — QOFs and sponsors may already hold assets here. They are the most likely early OZ 2.0 investors and know the local approvals path.
  • Tribal — the tribal government is a principal, not a stakeholder to consult. Persistent poverty — USDA Rural Development programs can fill gaps.

Data context

Eligible tracts in EIG DCI top distress quintile

The EIG Distressed Communities Index (2019–2023) is referenced in many state scoring rubrics. Quintile 1 = most distressed. See whether OZ 1.0 reached the most distressed places →

24

Counties with eligible tracts designated USDA persistent poverty

Persistent poverty = 20%+ poverty rate in every census 1980–2010. Source: USDA ERS County Typology Codes (2015 edition). Relevant for USDA RD program eligibility and QROF rural bonus. See QROF rural bonus mechanics →

189

Prior NMTC investments in eligible OZ tracts

CDFI Fund NMTC Public Data Release (2024). Indicates prior CDFI capital deployment track record in these tracts. See how NMTC and OZ stack →

431

Eligible tracts with CRA designation (LMI or distressed/underserved)

Banks earn CRA credit for investing in low- or moderate-income tracts (Track 1), and in non-metropolitan middle-income tracts officially designated distressed or underserved by FFIEC (Track 2). When an OZ project sits in a CRA-eligible tract, bank capital can satisfy CRA obligations while generating OZ tax benefits. How CRA and OZ interact →

Eligible tracts in top investability quintile (Urban Institute model)

The Urban Institute investability model scores OZ-eligible tracts by predicted likelihood of attracting private capital, based on OZ 1.0 investment patterns. Quintile 1 = highest predicted investability among scored tracts. Not all tracts are scored — coverage reflects tracts with sufficient OZ 1.0 data.
