Life & Economy

About 4 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: 3.7% of people^[19]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 4 of every 100 people in Santa Rosa City lived below the poverty line in 2021 (3.7%)^[19]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 2.8% and 4.5%, with 90% confidence.

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

Everything listed for Santa Rosa City in Now

Official name: City of Santa Rosa^[4]
Created: Republic Act No. 9264, approved on 10 March 2004, turned the municipality of Santa Rosa into a component city, the City of Santa Rosa.^[9]

How it got its name

The city page says the town took its name from Saint Rose of Lima of Peru, whose protection and patronage it was placed under.^[11]

Its story

Santa Rosa began as Barrio Bukol, a part of Biñan, on land that belonged to the Dominican friars as early as 1644.^[11]

The Dominicans were said to have built a chapel there in 1757, and a Spanish Civil Guard post, the Cuartel de Santo Domingo, stood near the boundary with Cavite.^[11]

Barrio Bukol became the municipality of Santa Rosa on 18 January 1792.^[11]

In 1898 the town sent Francisco Arambulo and other citizens to sign the Act of Independence at Kawit; local men later fought in the war against the Americans, and American forces occupied the town in January 1900.^[11]

Farmers from Santa Rosa and Cabuyao rose in the Sakdalista revolt of 3 May 1935, and about 30 people died.^[11]

Guerrillas liberated the town on 5 February 1945 after a short Japanese occupation.^[11]

Factories and industrial estates arrived from the 1980s, and the town became a first-class municipality in 1993.^[11]

It became a component city under Republic Act No. 9264.^[9]
