Use Cases

• Analyze trends in the magnitude of poor families over time based on poverty threshold definitions.
• Assess socioeconomic conditions relative to basic needs like food, health, and education as described in the legal framework.

Strengths

• Data is integrated with official Philippine Standard Geographic Codes (PSGC).
• Poverty definitions are based on a specific national law (Republic Act 8425).
• References multiple official technical documents from the Philippine Statistics Authority.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-06-23).
