How the comparison is kept fair

26 of the 26 cities and municipalities in Misamis Oriental can be compared. The other 0 are left out.

Only places with at least 1,000 people in the 2020 census are ranked, so a village that gained a few families does not top the list.
A place is ranked only if the same place was counted in both censuses. Scene leaves out a place the PSA's list of changes shows as created, divided, merged or given a new code since the 2020 census, a place another one was carved out of, and a place with no 2020 count.
The PSA's data carries no field that flags a changed border by itself; Scene reads the change list and the notes to each count, so a border change the PSA has not listed cannot be seen here.

The change is the percent difference between the two counts, as Scene works it out.
