The four hundred (400) residents were taken as respondents, using full household enumeration. Most of the respondents in Rodriguez Rizal are purely uplifted and hailed, living a simple modern way of life brought about by industrialization in the region. However, considering the number of years they live in the area, they still have limited earnings due to limited educational qualifications. Most of the family's meager income is spent on their food.
