Economy, 2025Gross domestic productThe value of all the goods and services made in a place in a year: the size of its economy.

Counted at 2018 prices, it leaves out the rise in prices, so one year can be set beside another.More in the glossary: ₱456.1 billion^[18]Its gross domestic product at current prices; ₱383.8 billion at 2018 prices.

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^[5]

About 9 of every 1,000 people in Parañaque City lived below the poverty line in 2023 (0.9%)^[21]

The PSA's survey puts it between 0.1% and 1.8%, with 95% confidence. The poverty line was ₱37,711 a person for the year.

The PSA notes: Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2023 poverty incidence among population should be used with caution.
