*An index-based classification system was used for the first time in FY 2007 to designate ARC distressed counties. For transition purposes, ARC also retained its threshold-based definition of distress, for FY 2007 only. Four counties that did not meet the index-based criteria for distress in FY 2007 were designated distressed under the threshold-based definition.
