The research was conducted covering the variable level of regional wealth including local revenue, the variable level of regional dependence with the center covering general allocation funds, leverage variables including debt to equity, while the variable regional financial performance includes efficiency ratios. The research was conducted with a quantitative approach. The research sample was collected using a saturated sampling technique approach. The research sample was conducted in 4 districts, namely, Kuningan, Majalengka, Indramayu, and Cirebon, from data on the level of regional wealth in the form of general allocation funds and income for each region in 2014-2018 with 20 observations.
