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.

Missouri sits largely within the historic ceded territory of the Osage Nation (headquartered in Pawhuska, OK), whose ancestral lands covered much of present-day Missouri. The Osage Nation has a federally recognized Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) and an active cultural preservation program. While no formal OZ 2.0 tribal consultation protocol has been published by Missouri DED, submitters nominating tracts in areas with documented Osage or other tribal cultural resources should contact the Osage Nation THPO (osageculture.com) or the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office before submitting. The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and the Delaware Tribe of Indians also have historic ties to Missouri territory.
