Many real estate development or marketing companies segregate housing units as follows.
(in million pesos)

Economic
Low-cost
Medium-cost
Open-market
0.45 and below
0.45 ~ P1.25
1.25 ~ 3
3 ~ 4
Above 4



The backlog is likely to balloon to almost 6.3 million households in the socialized (1.6 million), economic (2.6 million) and low-cost (0.6 million) segments, including the households that will not be able to qualify for financing the purchase of housing units (1.5 million).
