Where the Opportunity Zones are: top states and counties by tract count

Where the Opportunity Zones are, by the official counts: the 8,764 tracts designated in 2018 and the 25,462 tracts Treasury lists as eligible for the 2027 round, by state and by county. This page ranks places by how many tracts they have. It does not rank markets, projects or funds, and it is not investment advice.

States with the most tracts eligible for 2027

Each state may designate only a share of its eligible tracts (generally 25%, rounded up; small states have floors), so the eligible count is the pool a governor chose from, not the final map. The status column shows what each state has published.

Counties with the most tracts eligible for 2027

Large urban counties lead because they contain the most census tracts. A high count says nothing about whether a given project or fund is sound.

How to check an Opportunity Fund yourself

Searches for the "best" Opportunity Zone funds lead here. We do not rank or recommend funds, and Janover Capital LLC does not offer, sell or recommend fund interests. These public tools let you look a sponsor up yourself:

• SEC filings. Most private funds raising money file a Form D notice. Search the sponsor or fund name in SEC EDGAR full-text search.
• The people selling it. Check any broker or adviser in FINRA BrokerCheck and the SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure site.
• What a QOF files. A fund self-certifies on Form 8996 with its own tax return. Filing the form is not an IRS approval or review of the fund.
• Investor alerts. The SEC publishes investor education at Investor.gov.
