Investment Areas

Investment Areas are geographic sections of various communities identified by specific census tracts. The federal government established census tracts as a means to effectively count and gather demographic data on citizens. In fact, our entire country is broken into census tracts, similar to postal zip codes. Nearly every community has Investment Areas and they can be scattered among census tracts within a specific community. Certain census tracts were designated as Investment Areas by the federal government as a result of several factors or combinations of conditions. Factors include incomes, economic situations, employment conditions and or existence of renaissance zones.
