    - (i) **State's percentage of National rural population—** 50 percent.
    - (ii) **State's percentage of National rural population with income below the poverty level—** 50 percent.
  - (2) **The data source for the first criterion is the most recent decennial Census data.** The data source for the second criterion is the 5-year data from the American Community Survey (ACS) or, if needed, other Census Bureau data. Each criterion is assigned a specific weight according to its relevance in determining need. The percentage representing each criterion is multiplied by the weight factor and summed to arrive at a State factor (SF).

    SF (criterion (b)(1)(i) × 50 percent) + (criterion (b)(1)(ii) × 50 percent)
