FOREWORD
The Compendium of Planning Standards and Indicators was

prepared by the members of the RDC2- Regional Statistical Coordination
Committee (RDC2-RSCC) in August 2003. This document was the flagship
project of the said committee in response to the call of local and regional
planners to have a common reference for planning indicators and standards
that will serve as guide in the formulation of development plans; preparation
of development programs and project; evaluation of program/project
proposals; and in the monitoring and evaluation of program/project
implementation.
The maiden document prepared then by the committee was limited

to some planning indicators and standards. Moreover, some of the planning
standards need to be updated to respond to the changing requirements at
the national and sub-national levels. Hence, it was decided by the RDC-02
RSCC to come up with this Enhanced Compendium of Planning Indicators
and Standards as its flagship project for CY 2007.
The RDC 02-RSCC Secretariat hereby acknowledges with sincere

appreciation the efforts of the Committee members and other national
government agencies and local government units in the provision of the
inputs necessary for the enhancement of this document.
This document is likewise useful for policymakers, academic

researchers, the private sector and the general public in the conduct of any
economic and social development activities that may contribute to the
upliftment of the quality of life of the clients or beneficiaries they serve.

A.2 Planning Indicators:
2.1 Population Growth Rate- the average annual rate of change of Frequency: Every 10 years
population size during a specified period. It measures how fast or
how slow the size of the population is changing over a period. 2.3 Growth Rate of Number of Households- average annual rate of
change in the number of households during a specified period.
Formula: Pt 1/t
r= ----- -1 x 100 Formula:
Po HHt 1/t
RH = ------------- - 1 x 100
Where: r = the average annual rate of growth HHo
Pt = population size for the latter census
Po = population size for the earlier census Where: RH = the average annual rate of growth for households
t = interval in years between the two census dates HHt = the number of households for the later census years
HHo = the number of households for the previous census
Data Requirements: Population for two (2) censal years years
t = the interval in years between the two census years
Data Source: NSO Census of Population and Housing (CPH)
Data Requirements: Number of households in year t
Lowest Level of Disaggregation: Barangay Number of households in year t + n
Frequency: Every 10 years Data Source: NSO Census of Population and Housing
2.2. Sex Ratio- compares the number of males to the females in a given Lowest Level of Disaggregation: Barangay

males and females. A figure higher than 100 means that there are Frequency: Every 10 years
more males than females and a ratio lower than 100 means a
preponderance of females. 2.4 Median Age of the Population- the age which divides the
population into two equal size groups, one which is younger and the

migration rate is computed as the number of out-migrants
Where: URPR = Urban-Rural Population Ratio between year t and year t+n divided by population in year t+n
UP = total population in urban areas less number of in-migrants between year t and t+n plus
