Climate

Climate typeClimate typePAGASA sorts the country's climate into four types by when the rain falls. 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

Type IV[32]

Rain spread fairly evenly through the year, with no dry season.

Life & Economy

About 9 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
8.9% of people[20]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 9 of every 100 people in Digos City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (8.9%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 7.3% and 10.5%, with 90% confidence.

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

History & Identity

Official name
City of Digos[4]
Created
Converted from a municipality into the component City of Digos by Republic Act No. 8798, approved July 15, 2000.[9]

Its story

Digos was organized as a municipality of Davao by Executive Order No. 236 of 1949, taken from part of Santa Cruz, with the barrio of Digos as the seat of government.[11]

The new town had six barrios at the start: Digos, Tres de Mayo, Guma, Bansalan, Malanao and Doropoy.[11]

In 1952 its western part, including Bansalan and Miral, was cut away to form the separate municipality of Bansalan.[12]

In 2000 Republic Act No. 8798, the Charter of the City of Digos, made it a component city covering the same territory.[9]
