Published by Philippine Statistics Authority(PSA) on March 19, 2019.
Requested from PSA by G. Nicolas at 02:06 PM on March 19, 2019.

Date of Coverage: 01/01/2006 - 12/31/2015
Tracking no: #PSA-565510947857

To whom this may concern: I am doing a study on urban poverty, but the only available and accessible data on the PSA website is about poverty incidence (in percent) among individuals residing in urban areas. The paper would like to present poverty in terms of magnitude or absolute number of poor in urban areas, but this cannot be done using the available data because there is no base (i.e., total population in urban areas) for each reference year, i.e., 2006, 2009, 2012, and 2015. I would therefore like to request for data on urban population in the said four years.
