What the numbers show
Outside Metro Manila, Rizal has the most: 12 of the 50. Cavite is next with 4. In all, 25 of the 50 are in 8 provinces.
How we worked it out. We put each place on the list under the province it is in, left Metro Manila out because its cities have no province, and counted each group.
25 of the 50 (50%) are in Metro Manila.
How we worked it out. We counted the places on the list that are in the National Capital Region and divided by 50.
Together the 50 have 5,080,115 people. That is 4.5% of the 112,729,484 Filipinos counted in 2024.[9, 10]
How we worked it out. We added the 2024 counts of the 50 and divided by the country's 2024 total.
A typical barangay has about 1,424 people. The 50th on this list has 70,076, about 49 times as many.
How we worked it out. The typical (median) one is the middle one when all 42,010 barangays are put in order by their 2024 count.
The smallest on the list is Guadalupe in Cebu City, Cebu, with 70,076 people. A barangay needs at least that many people to make the top 50.
How we worked it out. We read the last row of the table.

“Not compared” means the PSA's list of changes shows that the place's border changed after the 2020 census, so its two counts are not of the same place.
How we counted
- Census date
- People are counted as of July 1, 2024 (the 2024 Census of Population) and May 1, 2020 (the 2020 Census of Population and Housing), both by the Philippine Statistics Authority.
- Source
- Philippine Statistics Authority: the 2024 Census of Population and the 2020 Census of Population and Housing. Every count is the PSA's own, for the place as the PSA names it today. The order, the change and the findings are Scene's arithmetic on those counts.
- Rules
- Every barangay the PSA counted in 2024 is ranked by its 2024 count, largest first. Places with the same count are put in the order of their addresses.
- The change is the percent difference between the two counts, (2024 count − 2020 count) ÷ 2020 count × 100, as Scene works it out. It is shown only for a place that can be compared across the two censuses.
- A place is compared across the censuses only if the same place was counted in both. Scene leaves the change out for 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. Its 2020 count, where there is one, is still shown.
- Privacy
- These are totals for places. No person is named, and no person can be found from them.
