COMPOSITE INDEX FUNDING FORMULA

Local Composite Index (LCI) is a wealth indicator Ratio of locality wealth per capita relative to the state

Numerators: Wealth Factors (with weights)

Real Estate Values (.5) Adjusted Gross Income or AGI (.4) Taxable Sales (.1)

Denominators: Average Daily Membership or ADM (.67) Population (.33)

Facts to Keep in Mind

Charlottesville’s LCI Decreased From .6861 to .6680

When LCI decreases, state funds increase

For 2015, there is a decrease of 1.81 percentage points, or - 2.64%

This decrease is due primarily to a relatively small increase in Charlottesville’s Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) compared to the state, relatively small decrease in real estate values compared to the state and a higher than average increase in enrollment compared to the state

Using this year’s funding formula, the decrease in the LCI increases state funding by $404,900

Key Points to Remember

Relative value of real estate local to state and ADM affect the LCI the most. AGI also had a significant impact this biennium.

When the LCI decreases, state funds increase

The LCI is computed each biennium by the DOE
