Poverty Mapping

Provincial/City/Municipal Poverty Maps

Poverty maps were prepared for each of the individual indicators, the composite indexes and the over-all poverty index using GIS tools and technology.

Five intervals are used in the maps. Two intervals with ranges 0-49 percent and 50-99 percent represent the performance of the municipalities whose achievements are better than the provincial value. The 100-149 percent range would include the municipalities with performance at least equal to but not more than one-and-a-half times the provincial value. Similarly, the 150-199 percent and 200 percent and over ranges would indicate the municipalities which are worse than the provincial situation.

The following are samples from the poverty mapping activities conducted in the Davao Region:
