Understanding the Local Composite Index (LCI) December 5, 2013
Facts to Keep in Mind • Local Composite Index (LCI) is a wealth indicator • Ratio of locality wealth per capita relative to the state • Numerators: • Wealth Factors (with weights) • Real Estate Values (.5) • Adjusted Gross Income or AGI (.4) • Taxable Sales (.1) • Denominators: • Average Daily Membership or ADM (.67) • Population (.33)
Charlottesville’s LCI Decreased From .6861 to .6680 • When LCI decreases, state funds increase • For 2015, there is a decrease of 1.81 percentage points, or - 2.64% • This decrease is due primarily to a relatively small increase in Charlottesville’s Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) compared to the state, relatively small decrease in real estate values compared to the state and a higher than average increase in enrollment compared to the state • Using this year’s funding formula, the decrease in the LCI increases state funding by $404,900
Numerators: • Wealth Factors (with weights) • Real Estate (.5) • Adjusted Gross Income or AGI (.4) • Taxable Sales (.1) • Denominators: • Average Daily Membership or ADM (.67) • Population (.33)
Key Points to Remember • Relative value of real estate local to state and ADM affect the LCI the most. AGI also had a significant impact this biennium. • When the LCI decreases, state funds increase • The LCI is computed each biennium by the DOE
