Kansas Census Tracts Eligible For Future OZ 2.0 Designation

On January 29, 2026, the U.S. Census Bureau published its five-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates for the 2020–2024 period, providing the income and poverty data that define which census tracts are eligible for Opportunity Zone designation in 2026.

According to OpportunityZones.com analysis of this data, Kansas has 210 census tracts that meet the median family income and/or poverty rate requirements for OZ 2.0 tract eligibility. Per the 25% statutory cap, Kansas will be able to nominate 53 of their 210 eligible tracts as Opportunity Zones.

The nomination window for each state opens on July 1, 2026 and runs for a period of up to 120 days. Upon receiving each state’s nominations, the U.S. Department of the Treasury then has up to 60 days to officially designate the state’s nominated census tracts as Opportunity Zones. The new OZ 2.0 tracts will take effect on January 1, 2027.

Note: The table below lists all OZ 2.0 eligible tracts in the state of Kansas. This is not the final list of designated tracts. The final list will be published here in late 2026. These census tracts correspond to the tract boundaries of the 2020 U.S. Census.

To view these OZ 2.0 eligible tracts on a map, go to our OZ 2.0 Eligibility Map.
