<p>To ensure the UK Community Renewal Fund funding reaches the most in need, we have
identified 100 priority places based on an index of economic resilience across Great
Britain which measures productivity, household income, unemployment, skills and population
density.</p><p>We are committed to transparency and a methodological note explaining
how the 100 priority places were determined has been published: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fuk-community-renewal-fund-prospectus%2Fuk-community-renewal-fund-prioritisation-of-places-methodology-note&data=04%7C01%7CParliamentary%40communities.gov.uk%7C05c0fdb70eec427436f808d8ea23dcb1%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637516787027566170%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=XthKA3UnwQTeMvphodk78zPZpgJJirgcoDHxSPIzL0Y%3D&reserved=0"

set out in the prospectus published at Budget, the index used for the Levelling Up
Fund places areas into category one, two or three based on the local area’s need for
economic recovery and growth, improved transport connectivity, and regeneration.</p><p>We
