Population of Batangas reached 2.4 Million (Results from the
2010
Census of Population and Housing)
Population of Batangas increased at the rate of 2.24 percent
annually
Based on the 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH), the
province of Batangas posted a total
population of 2,377,395 persons as of May 1, 2010. This is
larger by 472,047 persons compared to its total
population of 1,905,348 persons counted in the 2000 CPH. The
increase in the population count from 2000 to
2010 translated to an average annual population growth rate
(PGR) of 2.24 percent. This is lower than the 2.58
percent annual PGR of the province between the census years 1990
and 2000.
If the average annual PGR recorded at 2.24 percent during the
period 2000 to 2010 continues, the population
of Batangas would double in 31 years.
Fifty years ago, the population of Batangas was only 681,414
persons. The population size is less than one
third of the population of the province in the 2010 CPH.
