Family Income and Expenditure Survey, 2023

PSA OpenSTAT tables 0011E3ANIE0 (families, average income and expenditure), 0121E3AMIE0 (medians by decile), 0051E3AGCF0 (Gini) and 0071E3ATME0 (expenditure by major group). A sample survey of families, published for the Philippines, regions, provinces and highly urbanized cities. Averages and medians are per family per year, at 2023 prices. Central Visayas figures keep the region as it was defined in each survey year, before the 2024 regional reorganization.

Poverty statistics, 2018, 2021 and 2023

PSA OpenSTAT tables 0021F3DF01A (families) and 0041F3DF02A (population), with the per capita poverty threshold, the incidence, its coefficient of variation, standard error and 95% confidence interval. The 2021 round was collected during the pandemic. This page shows the published figures and intervals and does not re-estimate anything.

2020 Census of Population and Housing

PSA OpenSTAT tables 0011A6DPHH0 (total population, household population, households) and 0031A6DPAG0 (population by age group and sex). Census counts as of 1 May 2020. PSA marks Cebu with an asterisk: the province figure excludes the three highly urbanized cities, which are listed separately.

What the figures can and cannot say

Survey figures are estimates with published margins; census counts are counts. None of them shows why incomes or poverty changed, and a 2023 survey does not describe today. Extracted through the PSA OpenSTAT API on .
