POVERTY MAPPING
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provincial 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.

Introduction
Indicators
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.
