The allocation accruing to each commune under the first fraction of the rural solidarity grant provided for in article L. 2334-21 is equal to the product of the population, taken into account within the limit of 10,000 inhabitants, by the relative difference between the average financial potential per inhabitant of all the communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants and the financial potential per inhabitant of the commune, weighted by the tax effort taken into account within the limit of 1.2.
The per capita financial potential is calculated by applying the provisions of articles L. 2334-2 and L. 2334-4.
For the application of Article L. 2334-21, a municipality’s status as a rural regeneration zone is assessed on 1 January of the year preceding the allocation.
