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.

Oregon has nine federally recognized tribes. Business Oregon has designated a dedicated tribal liaison, Brian Plinski (Brian.PLINSKI@biz.oregon.gov), who manages tribal government applications separately from the general RFA track; tribal governments may submit directly through the same application portal or coordinate with Brian Plinski. Key tribal-county overlaps in the eligible tract universe include: Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs (Jefferson and Wasco counties); Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (Umatilla County); Burns Paiute Tribe (Harney County); Klamath Tribes (Klamath County, 12 eligible tracts); Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians (Coos County, 10 eligible tracts); Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and Siletz Indians (western valleys including Douglas and Lane counties). Tribal governments submit applications through the same portal but are encouraged to contact Brian Plinski first to coordinate.
