The Urban Institute has released a state-by-state assessment of how successfully governors have targeted Opportunity Zones by need and benefit. The assessment, "Did States Maximize Their Opportunity Zone Selections?", is authored by community development expert Brett Theodos. Analysis shows minimal targeting of the program toward disinvested communities by a measure of investment flows developed by the researchers. Less than a third of the designated Opportunity Zones are in tracts with the lowest levels of investment, while 28% already attract high levels of investment.
