      2. 2. With a language barrier;
      3. 3. Who are geographically isolated; or

most recent decennial census in computing allotment percentages. In addition, the division shall revise allotment percentages, at least, biennially in accordance with population estimates made available through the Missouri Office of Administration.

1. (5) The division in consultation with all AAAs shall develop and use an intrastate funding formula for the allocation of Title III funds for Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services.

2. (6) The intrastate funding formula for the allocation of Title III funds for Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services shall be established by the proportion of the sum of the factors for each PSA to the total of the factors for the state as calculated by using the following three (3) factors:

   1. (A) Average score of the sum of the following four (4) social and economic need indicators per region:

      1. 1. The proportion of the individuals who

are age sixty (60) and over who are low-income to the total population of individuals who are age sixty (60) and over within each county or the city of St. Louis. A score was assigned to each county or the city of St. Louis based upon the following scale:

1. A. 0.00%—6.00% = 1
2. B. 6.01%—12.00% = 2
3. C. 12.01%—18.00% = 3
4. D. 18.01%—24.00% = 4
5. E. 24.01%—100.00% = 5
6. 2. The proportion of the individuals who

are age sixty (60) and over who are receiving Medicaid assistance to the total population of individuals who are age sixty (60) and over within each county or the city of St. Louis. A score was assigned to each county or the city of St. Louis based upon the following scale:

1. A. 0.00%—6.00% = 1
2. B. 6.01%—12.00% = 2
3. C. 12.01%—18.00% = 3
4. D. 18.01%—24.00% = 4
5. E. 24.01%—100.00% = 5
6. 3. The proportion of the individuals who

are age sixty (60) and over who are minority to the total population of individuals who are age sixty (60) and over within each county or the city of St. Louis. A score was assigned to each county or the city of St. Louis based upon the following scale:

1. A. 0.00%—1.00% = 1
2. B. 1.01%—5.00% = 2
3. C. 5.01%—8.00% = 3
4. D. 8.01%—12.00% = 4
5. E. 12.01%—100.00% = 5
6. 4. The population density expressed as

individuals per square mile within each county or the city of St. Louis. A score was assigned to each county or the city of St. Louis based upon the following scale:

1. A. 0.00—10.00 persons per square mile = 5
2. B. 10.01—15.00 persons per square mile = 4
3. C. 15.01—25.00 persons per square mile = 3
4. D. 25.01—40.00 persons per square mile = 2
5. E. 40.01—100.00 persons per square mile = 1
6. (B) The proportion of individuals who are age sixty (60) and over within each PSA to the total population of individuals who are age sixty (60) and over within the state. This factor is computed by dividing the population sixty (60) and over per PSA by the total population sixty (60) and over within the state; the quotient is then multiplied by one hundred (100);
7. (C) The proportion of individuals who are age sixty (60) and over residing in a designated primary care health professional shortage area (HPSA), as designated by the United States Public Health Service, Office of Shortage Designation, within each PSA to the total population of individuals who are age sixty (60) and over residing in an HPSA within the state. This factor is computed by dividing the population sixty (60) and over residing in an HPSA per PSA by the total population sixty (60) and over residing in an HPSA within the state; the quotient is then multiplied by one hundred (100);

8. (D) Data used for the following categories will be derived from the most recent decennial Census for use in allocating funds.

   1. 1. Population sixty (60) and over;
   2. 2. Population sixty (60) and over minor-

ity;

1. (E) Data used for the population sixty (60) and over below poverty will be derived from the most recent decennial Census of Population and Housing;
2. (F) Data used for the population per square mile will be derived from the most recent decennial Census of Population and Housing Unit Counts;
3. (G) Data from the Missouri Department of Social Services, Division of Medical Services will be used for population sixty (60) and over receiving Medicaid assistance;
4. (H) Data from the Department of Health and Senior Services will be used for the population sixty (60) and over residing in HPSAs.

1. (7) Area agencies on aging shall have available not more than ten percent (10%) of the total federal Older Americans Act Title III Part B, Part C-1, Part C-2, and Title III Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services funds for paying such percentage, but not more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the cost of administration of the area plan.
