Queens's designated OZ 2.0 tracts

35 designated tracts are inside Queens borough (Queens County). Queens County has 35 designated tracts in the workbook, and all of them are in this list. They take effect January 1, 2027 (Treasury press release sb0682; CDFI Fund final designations file). All 35 lie entirely inside the boundary. The workbook does not flag any of these tracts rural, so the 10% five-year step-up is the one that applies here, not the 30% rural step-up.

Queens borough and Queens County are the same geography. All 35 designated Queens County tracts are in the borough. Tract 36081017101 is on the CDFI final list and is not rural. The Census Geocoder matches 39-01 Skillman Avenue, Sunnyside, to that tract. 43-20 Skillman Avenue matches 36081018300, which is not on the final list. New York has 430 designated tracts statewide.

County tables: Queens County (35 in this list, 35 in the county workbook). Nationwide, Treasury designated 6,576 tracts (2,594 rural) out of 25,462 eligible tracts, effective January 1, 2027.
