HC2 Capital says Texas EB-5 TEA eligibility hinges on census-tract data, not statewide job market strength

• HC2 Capital analysis flagged strong Texas growth alongside persistent EB-5 Targeted Employment Area pockets that enable USD 800,000 investments.
• TEA eligibility hinges on census-tract unemployment or rural geography, not statewide or metro averages, keeping qualifying sites inside major Texas metros.
• High-unemployment TEAs require DHS verification using current tract-level data; fast-changing local conditions raise revalidation risk at filing.
• Rural TEAs use a binary test outside MSAs or towns above 20,000 residents, offering greater designation stability than unemployment-based claims.
• Standard non-TEA projects require USD 1,050,000; the next inflation-linked threshold adjustment is scheduled for Jan. 1, 2027.
