100 Fastest Growing Barangays in the Philippines

Ranked by population growth between the 2020 Census of Population and Housing and the 2024 POPCEN.

Urban sprawl, new subdivisions, relocation sites, and emerging economic zones are all reflected in the 2020 → 2024 growth numbers. The fastest growing barangay on this list, Barangay San Antonio in Dulag, grew by +358.3% over the four-year intercensal period — from 590 residents in 2020 to 2,704 in 2024.

Growth on this list is dominated by peri-urban barangays on the edges of expanding cities (Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan for Metro Manila; Rizal and Davao del Sur for regional centres) and by resettlement areas for communities displaced by calamities or major infrastructure projects.

Methodology note:To produce a meaningful ranking, we exclude barangays with a 2020 population of fewer than 500 residents. This filters out percentage artefacts — a barangay that went from 3 to 30 residents would otherwise show as “+900% growth”, which is mathematically correct but misleading. The 50th-ranked barangay on this list grew by +101.6% over the same period.
