Economic Performance
Poverty Incidence

Poverty incidence, as defined by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), is the proportion of individuals living in certain households with
an average per capita expenditure below the poverty line. Conversely, poverty threshold is defined as the minimum income/expenditure required for a
family/individual to meet the basic food and non-food requirements.

Based on data provided by the Philippine Statistics Authority, the first semester poverty incidence among families and among population in Oriental
Mindoro increased by 3.6 percentage points or 34% and 5.7 percentage points or 39% respectively, from 2018 to 2021.

Poverty incidence among population refers to the proportion of poor Filipinos whose per capita income is not sufficient to meet their basic food and
non-food needs.
