    (b) Computation of amount allocated to metropolitan cities and urban counties (1) 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. (2) 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. (3) 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. → (b)(1) The Secretary shall determine the amount to be allocated to each metropolitan city in accordance with the revised and updated formulas or factors set forth pursuant to section 2(b)(2) of the CDBG Modernization Act of 2024 in the report pursuant to such section 2(b). (2) The Secretary shall determine the amount to be allocated to each urban county in accordance with the revised and updated formulas or factors set forth pursuant to section 2(b)(2) of the CDBG Modernization Act of 2024 in the report pursuant to such section 2(b).
