Locality is the cost of living adjustment they pay you to try to provide an equitable standard of living for controllers living in different parts of the country. Certain areas get higher locality rates because the FAA regards those areas as having higher costs of living.

Multiply the locality by your salary, then add that to your base salary - to find how much you would actually make in a particular part of the country.
