2020 Population Data for Batangas' Cities and Towns

Because the Philippine Statistics Authority has now released the results of the 2020 Philippine Census¹, Batangas History, Culture and Folklore is now able to provide population data for the four cities and thirty municipalities of the Province of Batangas².

For comparison purposes, population counts for each city and municipality are also provided for the census years 2015 and 2010. Because the intent of this post is to provide population information based on the 2020 Philippine Census, the latest statistics are provided in the first column.
