Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Poblacion carries a moderate flood-risk rating that buyers should take seriously without over-weighting. Seasonal flooding affects some parts of the barangay; other parts are comparatively dry. A flood-history check at the barangay DRRMO office, combined with a physical inspection of the specific lot, is the recommended approach.

Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Candelaria proper.
