To one and all, while I've studied several agencies and research works on this topic, I found an announcement by the government as follows:

Flood-prone barangays in Cagayan de Oro City

First District (western areas)
Balulang
Macanhan
Acacia,Carmen
Kauswagan
Bonbon
Iponan
San Simon
Canitoan
Pagatpat
Bulua


Second District (eastern areas)

Zone 4 Bugo
Agusan
Cugman
Tablon
Consolacion
Macasandig
Macabalan
Puntod
Brgys 7, 10, 13, 17,


NONE - Flood Risk areas / District Barangay areas:

Baikingon • Balubal • Barangay 1 (Pob.) • Barangay 2 (Pob.) • Barangay 3 (Pob.) • Barangay 4 (Pob.) • Barangay 5 (Pob.) • Barangay 6 (Pob.) • • Barangay 8 (Pob.) • Barangay 9 (Pob.) • • Barangay 11 (Pob.) • Barangay 12 (Pob.) • • Barangay 14 (Pob.) • Barangay 15 (Pob.) • Barangay 16 (Pob.) • • Barangay 18 (Pob.) • Barangay 19 (Pob.) • Barangay 20 (Pob.) • Barangay 21 (Pob.) • Barangay 22 (Pob.) • Barangay 23 (Pob.) • Barangay 24 (Pob.) • Barangay 25 (Pob.) • Barangay 26 (Pob.) • Barangay 27 (Pob.) • Barangay 28 (Pob.) • Barangay 29 (Pob.) • Barangay 30 (Pob.) • Barangay 31 (Pob.) • Barangay 32 (Pob.) • Barangay 33 (Pob.) • Barangay 34 (Pob.) • Barangay 35 (Pob.) • Barangay 36 (Pob.) • Barangay 37 (Pob.) • Barangay 38 (Pob.) • Barangay 39 (Pob.) • Barangay 40 (Pob.) • Bayabas • Bayanga • Besigan • Camaman-an • Dansolihon • F.S. Catanico • Gusa • Indahag • Lapasan • Lumbia • Mambuaya • Nazareth • Pagalungan • Patag • Pigsag-an • Puerto €¢ Taglimao • Tagpangi • Tignapoloan • Tuburan • Tumpagon •

This is useful not just for renters, but my research was for 'buyers and builders' of the future.

The complete list covers 'districts and areas' well outside of Cagayan de Oro City; but apart of it.   Keep in mind, living just 1-2 km from city-center is a '30-50%' cost reduction for renters, and as high as a 80% reduction for 'home builders'.

This is why the 'conclusive' and all inclusive findings.  Some would just say "Oh, live in X, Y, Z" areas; but do not account for cost differentials and issues of safety and access, etc.

a 'little due diligence' can put over 20,000 pesos back into your pocket annually, eliminate certain flood and other issues mostly, not to include 'food and entertainment cost reductions' in outlying areas.   For those who 'genuinely like or want to associate with locals'; you'll save a bundle and have the BEST memories and life-long friendships.
