Type I has a dry season from November to April and a wet one for the rest of the year; Type II has no dry season, with the most rain from December to February; Type III has a short dry season; Type IV has rain spread through the year.More in the glossary

Life & Economy

About 13 of every 100 people lived below the poverty line in 2021.
Poverty, 2021Poverty incidenceHow many of every 100 people live in families whose income is below the poverty line: what a person needs in a year for food and other basic needs, as the PSA sets it for each province. It is an estimate, from a survey or, for a town, a statistical model, so the PSA gives a range it is likely to fall in.More in the glossary
13.5% of people[17]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.
Income classIncome classThe Department of Finance sorts provinces, cities and municipalities into classes by their average yearly income over recent years: 1st class has the most. It measures the local government's income, not how well off its people are.More in the glossary
1st class[4]
About 13 of every 100 people in Tayum lived below the poverty line in 2021 (13.5%)[17]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 10.6% and 16.3%, with 90% confidence.

The PSA rates this estimate's reliability as acceptable rather than high: read it as a guide.

History & Identity

How it got its name

The provincial page says records show Tayum took its name from the indigo plant, which Ilocanos called tayum-tayum, once a source of wealth in the town.[9]

Its story

In Barangay Deet there was a big vat where the plant was left to decay into a blue-black dye, and the indigo trade died when a German powder dye came into use among Ilocano weavers.[9]

Tayum, once a visita of Bangued, became an independent mission in 1807 when a solid brick church was built under the Augustinians; the church is dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria.[9]

In 1904 Tayum became a barrio of Bangued because of deteriorating peace and order; it ended as a barrio on 31 December 1907 under Teniente del barrio Pio Balmaceda, and soon regained town status with Manuel Brillantes as its first president.[9]
