The Secretary shall determine the amount to be allocated to each metropolitan city which shall be the greater of an amount that bears the same ratio to the allocation for all metropolitan areas as either—
(A) the average of the ratios between— (i) the population of that city and the population of all metropolitan areas; (ii) the extent of poverty in that city and the extent of poverty in all metropolitan areas; and (iii) the extent of housing overcrowding in that city and the extent of housing overcrowding in all metropolitan areas; or
(B) the average of the ratios between— (i) the extent of growth lag in that city and the extent of growth lag in all metropolitan cities; (ii) the extent of poverty in that city and the extent of poverty in all metropolitan areas; and (iii) the age of housing in that city and the age of housing in all metropolitan areas.
The Secretary shall determine the amount to be allocated to each urban county, which shall be the greater of an amount that bears the same ratio to the allocation for all metropolitan areas as either—
(A) the average of the ratios between— (i) the population of that urban county and the population of all metropolitan areas; (ii) the extent of poverty in that urban county and the extent of poverty in all metropolitan areas; and (iii) the extent of housing overcrowding in that urban county and the extent of housing overcrowding in all metropolitan areas; or
(B) the average of the ratios between— (i) the extent of growth lag in that urban county and the extent of growth lag in all metropolitan cities and urban counties; (ii) the extent of poverty in that urban county and the extent of poverty in all metropolitan areas; and (iii) the age of housing in that urban county and the age of housing in all metropolitan areas.
In determining the average of ratios under paragraphs (1)(A) and (2)(A), the ratio involving the extent of poverty shall be counted twice, and each of the other ratios shall be counted once; and in determining the average of ratios under paragraphs (1)(B) and (2)(B), the ratio involving the extent of growth lag shall be counted once, the ratio involving the extent of poverty shall be counted one and one-half times, and the ratio involving the age of housing shall be counted two and one-half times.
In computing amounts or exclusions under this section with respect to any urban county, there shall be excluded units of general local government located in the county the populations of which are not counted in determining the eligibility of the urban county to receive a grant under this subsection, except that there shall be included any independent city (as defined by the Bureau of the Census) which—
(A) is not part of any county;
(B) is not eligible for a grant pursuant to subsection (b)(1);
(C) is contiguous to the urban county;
(D) has entered into cooperation agreements with the urban county which provide that the urban county is to undertake or to assist in the undertaking of essential community development and housing assistance activities with respect to such independent city; and
(E) is not included as a part of any other unit of general local government for purposes of this section.
Any independent city which is included in any fiscal year for purposes of computing amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be eligible to receive assistance under subsection (d) with respect to such fiscal year.
In computing amounts under this section with respect to any urban county, there shall be included all of the area of any unit of local government which is part of, but is not located entirely within the boundaries of, such urban county if the part of such unit of local government which is within the boundaries of such urban county would otherwise be included in computing the amount for such urban county under this section, and if the part of such unit of local government which is not within the boundaries of such urban county is not included as a part of any other unit of local government for the purpose of this section. Any amount received by such urban county under this section may be used with respect to the part of such unit of local government which is outside the boundaries of such urban county.
(A) Where data are available, the amount determined under paragraph (1) for a metropolitan city that has been formed by the consolidation of one or more metropolitan cities with an urban county shall be equal to the sum of the amounts that would have been determined under paragraph (1) for the metropolitan city or cities and the balance of the consolidated government, if such consolidation had not occurred. This paragraph shall apply only to any consolidation that— (i) included all metropolitan cities that received grants under this section for the fiscal year preceding such consolidation and that were located within the urban county; (ii) included the entire urban county that received a grant under this section for the fiscal year preceding such consolidation; and (iii) took place on or after January 1, 1983 .
(B) The population growth rate of all metropolitan cities referred to in section 5302(a)(12) of this title shall be based on the population of (i) metropolitan cities other than consolidated governments the grant for which is determined under this paragraph; and (ii) cities that were metropolitan cities before their incorporation into consolidated governments. For purposes of calculating the entitlement share for the balance of the consolidated government under this paragraph, the entire balance shall be considered to have been an urban county.
