Community Wide Needs Score

One of the factors used in the competitive scoring process for Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) applications is the Community Wide Needs Score. This is a numerical representation of each eligible unit of local government's needs based on the following census data:

• Low- and Moderate-Income Population
• Number of Persons Below the Poverty Level
• Number of Housing Units with More than One Person Per Room

A list of the current Community Wide Needs Scores for all eligible units of local government is available below.
