 Barangay Punta Baja is the most thickly populated with 5,812 persons and 1,857 households.
 Barangay Campung Ulay is the least populated with only 1,351 persons and 897 households.
 
There were a total 30,345 respondents in 8,793 surveyed households in Municipality of Rizal in this
survey.Table 1 shows the distribution of the respondents by barangay.

B. Age Distribution
 Majority of the surveyed population in the municipality falls under the age range of 0 to 14 years old.

23
 The distribution of the surveyed population according to age is as
follows: 0-14 years (children) 13,205 or 43.52 percent, 15-24
years (early working age) 4,647 or 15.31 percent, 25-54 years
(prime working age) 9,444 or 31.12 percent, 55-64 years (mature
working age) 1,642 or 5.41 percent, 65 years and over (elderly)
1,369 or 4.51 percent. Refer to Table 2.

The age structure of a population affects a community's key socio

economic issues. Communities with young populations (high
percentage under age 15) need to invest more in schools, while
communities with older populations (high percentage ages 65 and
over) need to invest more in the health sector. The age structure
can also be used to help predict potential political issues. For
example, the rapid growth of a young adult population unable to
find employment can lead to unrest.
