Is this address in an opportunity zone?

Opportunity zones were designated by census tract and the designation list has not moved since, which makes this a stable yes or no once the tract is known. ParcelOps resolves the address to its tract and returns the designation with the tract identifier attached, plus the community development eligibility that runs on the same geography where it applies. Being inside a zone is a location fact. Whether an investment earns the tax treatment turns on the fund, the timing, and the property, and that is a tax question with a tax adviser at the end of it.

Census tract, against the published designation list.

Where this answer comes from.

Each of these has its own page naming the office that publishes it, how often it updates, and what it cannot answer. Rebuilt from the ParcelOps source directory on September 9, 2026.

Would answer this, not connected yet.

These sit in the same part of the ParcelOps directory and are not live, so they add nothing to the answer above today. They are named because a page that hides the unfinished half of itself is the thing this whole family is arguing against: USACE National Structure Inventory, Census LODES Workforce Context, CDFI Fund Awards, SBA Commercial Loan Context.

Where this stops.

The part a search result will not tell you, and the part worth reading before this answer goes into a decision.

  • The screen answers where, not whether. Fund structure, substantial improvement tests, and holding periods decide the outcome and none of them are geographic.
  • Tract boundaries were drawn from a census vintage that has since been superseded, so a current tract lookup and the designation list can describe slightly different shapes.
  • Community development eligibility is a separate program with its own tests, and sharing a geography with a zone does not make them interchangeable.

Questions people ask alongside this one.

  • What census tract is this address in?

    Federal program designations are published by census tract, not by address. How to resolve an address to its state, county, tract, and block codes, and why the vintage matters.

The lanes this question belongs to.

A lane page lists every source that kind of work reads, not only the ones behind this question, and states where the whole lane stops.
