Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk

Transport
The barangay road network in Uso links to Suyo's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Suyo proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
