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.
