How North Carolina chose
Treasury published the final list on October 30, 2026. North Carolina designated 204 of 814 eligible tracts, its full allocation, in 93 of 93 counties with eligible tracts. Designations take effect January 1, 2027 and run through December 31, 2036. Treasury's October list has 7 more eligible tracts here than the April appendix, qualified under its missing-data rules; 0 were designated.
Compared with the eligible tracts it passed over, North Carolina favored former OZ 1.0 tracts, less dense tracts and tracts with prior NMTC deals.
| Trait | Designated | Passed over |
|---|---|---|
| Former OZ 1.0 tract | 41.7% | 18% |
| Rural (QROF) | 61.8% | 50% |
| Urban Institute Tier 1 | 30.9% | 21% |
| Median poverty rate | 23.1% | 23.4% |
| Median family income, % of area | 64.6% | 62% |
| Residents of color (mean) | 54.7% | 57.1% |
| Median density, people / sq mi | 590 | 1,028 |
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 →

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.

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.

North Carolina is home to two distinct tribal communities with eligible-tract interests. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) is a federally recognized tribe with a reservation in Jackson and Swain counties in western North Carolina; EBCI has a Tribal Historic Preservation Office (ebci-nsn.gov/thpo) and should be consulted for nominations in or adjacent to Jackson and Swain counties. The Lumbee Tribe is the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi River (approximately 55,000 members), is state-recognized, and is centered in Robeson County — which has 31 eligible tracts and appears in the top-10 county table. Robeson County is not federally recognized, so no formal THPO consultation is legally required; however, the Lumbee Tribal Administration (lumbeetribe.com) has active community development interests in Robeson County and should be engaged directly for nominations in that county. NC Commerce has not published a tribal consultation protocol for the OZ 2.0 process.
