Population of Angeles City increased at the rate of 2.00 percent annually

Based on the 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH), Angeles City, a highly urbanized city in the province of Pampanga, posted a total population of 326,336 persons as of May 1, 2010.  This is larger by 58,548 persons compared to its total population of 267,788 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 2.00 percent.  This is higher than the 1.24 percent annual PGR of the city between the census years 1990 and 2000.

If the average annual PGR recorded at 2.00 percent during the period 2000 to 2010 continues, the population of Angeles City would double in 35 years.

Forty years ago, the population of Angeles City was only 134,544 persons.  This population size is more than two fifths of the population of the city in the 2010 CPH.

Balibago was the most populous barangay

Among the 33 barangays comprising Angeles City, barangay Balibago was the most populous. Its population size was 9.9 percent of the total population of the city. Malabanias came in second in terms of population size with 7.1 percent share, followed by Cutcut with 6.6 percent, Pulung Cacutud with 5.6 percent, Cutud with 5.1 percent, and Pampang with 5.0 percent. The rest of the barangays contributed less than 5.0 percent each.

The least populated barangay was Virgen Delos Remedios with 0.5 percent share to the total population of the city. It was also the least populated barangay in 2000.
