I spent this evening reading about Opportunity Zones, or “O-zones”, in the United States.
For a census tract to become an O-zone, it has to have a poverty rate of 20% or higher, or the median household income has to be less than 80% of the surrounding area. Governors are also only able to designate 25% of their eligible census tracts.
Here is a map of the areas that have been designated as Opportunity Zones.
