Life & Economy

About 44 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
44.2% of people[16]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.

About 44 of every 100 people in Datu Saudi Ampatuan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (44.2%)[16]
