Notes:

1 - The estimates for 2003 were revised following the recomputation of the poverty thresholds of Compostela Valley using food prices and other data for Davao del Norte, its mother province.
2 - Completely urban areas; no thresholds for rural areas
3 - The provinces of Batanes, Marinduque, Siquijor, Southern Leyte, and Abra were not considered in the computation of the urban and rural poverty thresholds of their respective regions (Regions II, IV-B, VII, VIII, and CAR).
4 - Urban and rural poverty thresholds were not computed for the provinces of Batanes, Marinduque, Siquijor, Southern Leyte, and Abra. The 2003 Family Income and Expenditure Survey does not include any sample urban barangays from these provinces.
