What Are Opportunity Zones?
Opportunity Zones are economically distressed communities designated at the census-tract level. U.S. taxpayers who reinvest eligible capital gains into Qualified Opportunity Funds that invest in Opportunity Zone property may qualify for several federal tax benefits.
How To Invest in Opportunity Zones
To qualify for the Opportunity Zone tax incentive, investors must reinvest eligible capital gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF). The QOF must then deploy capital into qualified Opportunity Zone property or businesses located within designated census tracts.

Future OZ 2.0 Designations in Kansas
On January 29, 2026, the U.S. Census Bureau released its five-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates for the 2020–2024 period. These data determine which census tracts are eligible for Opportunity Zone designation under the OZ 2.0 framework.
Across Kansas, 211 census tracts (76 rural, 135 non-rural) meet the statutory median-family-income and/or poverty-rate thresholds. Kansas submitted its OZ 2.0 nominations to the U.S. Treasury on August 27, 2026, nominating 53 of those eligible tracts (27 rural, 26 non-rural) — the maximum allowed under the 25 percent statutory cap. Approved designations take effect on January 1, 2027. Nominated tracts are marked and listed first in the table below.

* 1 tract is newly eligible under Treasury's Alternate Framework, added September 28, 2026. The Census Bureau publishes no median family income for this tract, so Treasury used its family-income distribution to show its median family income is at or below 70% of the area median (shown as ≤70%). Its rural status is inferred from neighboring tracts.
