The allocation for each eligible municipality is equal to its population multiplied by the value of the index allocated to it. This product is weighted by the tax effort up to a limit of 1.3 and by a coefficient varying uniformly from 4 to 0.5 in ascending order of the ranking of eligible communes.
To determine the allocation due to eligible municipalities, two additional multiplying coefficients are applied to the product defined in the first paragraph, one equal to one, increased by the ratio between twice the population of sensitive urban areas and, from 2017, priority neighbourhoods of the city policy and the total population of the municipality, and the other equal to one, increased by the ratio between the population of urban free zones and the total population of the municipality. In 2016, the population of sensitive urban areas and the population of urban free zones – entrepreneurial territories taken into account are authenticated following the last population census in the areas existing on 1 January 2014.
The increase in each commune’s allocation may not exceed €4 million per year.
From 2017, communes eligible under Article L. 2334-16 receive an allocation equal to that received the previous year, increased by the increase provided for in Article L. 2334-18-4. Municipalities that were not eligible for the allocation in the year preceding the year of payment receive an allocation calculated in application of this article.
