2. DEMOGRAPHY

2.1. TOTAL POPULATION
The City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan experienced a 3.64% population growth, or an additional population of 138, 746 persons from the year 2000 compared to the latest census in 2010. This rapid growth can be observed in the increasing population from a majority of the barangays in the City. Should the City observed the same growth trends, in 30 years, the city’s population would increase by roughly 1.9 million people.

2.1.1 Barangay Population
Among the most populated Barangays in the city is Muzon with a total of 81,947 (2010) inhabitants or approximately 18% of the city’s total population during the census year. Interestingly Muzon, with 5.56% Annual Average Growth Rate (AAGR) in 200-2010, does not maintain the highest population in the city. Based on the population projections, this Barangay’s population will be exceeded by Minuyan Proper (19.29% AAGR), by the year 2018.
The SJDM’s total population from census years 2000 and 2010 are presented in Table 2-1, together with five (5) year interval projections calculated by the exponential growth method, using barangay AAGR from 2000-2010 census years.

By 2015, Muzon will still be the most populated barangay in the city; however, Minuyan Proper would overtake the population of the former by the year 2020. Another barangay of interest in terms of population growth is Citrus, which is projected to have 41,521 inhabitants in 2065 from 26,260 ten years before. Also noticeable is that the projected population of the city will be concentrated in a handful of barangays namely Minuyan Proper, Muzon, Sto. Cristo and Citrus. This may pose negative implications in the distribution of goods and services in the city, should growth remain unmanaged. On the other hand, barangays with low population values are more closely ranged.

2.1.2. Age-Sex Population

San Jose del Monte generally has a young population with a medium age of 23.5 years old. This is higher than the recorded 2007 city median age of 21.7. However, note that the city’s median age is lower compared to the provincial median age of 24.8 years old in 2010. While the sex ratio for the city in the latest Census year is 99.8; this means there are approximately 100 males for every 100 females in the population (table 2-3).

The age structure of the City of San Jose del Monte embodies the role as the provider of human resources to the adjacent Metropolis. Based on the figure below (Figure 2-2) more than half of the population or 63% belongs to the productive age group which is 15-64 years. The high proportions of the young and productive population translate to high demand for social services such as employment, social welfare, housing, school health, etc.

The total dependency ratio in the city is 58% with a young dependency ratio of 53% age 15 years old and below (table 2-4) , and 5% dependency ratio for the elderly population. Further, there are more young dependent males than females in contrast with the elderly with more females.
