# 1 Income gap multiplier

So in original. Probably should be section “6705(c)(4)(A),”.

For purposes of determining the income gap of a unit of general local government under section 6705(b)(4)(A),[^1] the number which applies is—

**(1)** 1.6, with respect to ½ of any amount allocated under section 6704 to the State in which the unit is located; and

**(2)** 1.2, with respect to the remainder of such amount.
