Of the 104 census tracts Oklahoma nominated for Opportunity Zone 2.0, 31 are in the Oklahoma City metro area and 22 in the Tulsa metro area, by our count of the state’s own tract list. The other 51 are spread across 35 counties. All are pending certification by Treasury.

Oklahoma’s 104 nominated Opportunity Zone 2.0 tracts lean toward its two largest metro areas: 53 of the 104, just over half, are in the Oklahoma City or Tulsa metropolitan statistical areas. We counted them from the Oklahoma Commerce OZ 2.0 map, which lists all 104 tract GEOIDs, and matched each tract to its county by the county code in the GEOID. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce announced the nominations on Oct 28, 2026. The tracts are nominated and pending certification; Treasury has not published an OZ 2.0 list yet.

Oklahoma City metro: 31 tracts. Oklahoma County has 23, the most of any county in the state. Cleveland County has 3, Logan County 2, and Canadian County, Grady County and Lincoln County 1 each. McClain County, the seventh county in the metro, has none.

Tulsa metro: 22 tracts. Tulsa County has 13. Creek County has 3, Okmulgee County and Rogers County 2 each, and Osage County and Wagoner County 1 each. Pawnee County, the seventh county in the metro, has none.

Rest of the state: 51 tracts in 35 counties. Payne County (Stillwater) has 4, and Comanche County and Kay County have 3 each. In all, the 104 tracts are in 47 of Oklahoma’s 77 counties.

How we counted. Metro areas follow the federal definitions in the Census Bureau’s July 2023 metropolitan delineation file (OMB Bulletin 23-01): the Oklahoma City metro is Canadian, Cleveland, Grady, Lincoln, Logan, McClain and Oklahoma counties, and the Tulsa metro is Creek, Okmulgee, Osage, Pawnee, Rogers, Tulsa and Wagoner counties. Our totals of 31 and 22 match the metro figures in Oklahoma Commerce’s announcement. Oklahoma could nominate up to 104 of its 414 eligible tracts (25%); Treasury’s September 2026 data counts 25,461 eligible tracts nationally.
