Based on the 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH), the province of Benguet, excluding Baguio City, posted a total population of 403,944 persons as of May 1, 2010. This is larger by 73,815 persons compared to its total population of 330,129 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 2.04 percent. This is higher than the 0.87 percent annual PGR of the province between the census years 1990 and 2000.
If the average annual PGR recorded at 2.04 percent during the period 2000 to 2010 continues, the population of Benguet would double in 34 years.
