  • The Official Website of Pasay City
    COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN OF PASAY CITY SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE 3.0 POPULATION AND LAND USE The analysis of population will focus on its present size and growth, past trends and distribution. Since population relates to both land use allocation and provision of socio-economic needs and services, its analysis cannot be divorced from the other input studies in the other chapters. 3.1 Population: Levels, Growth, Distribution and Movements 3.1.1. Levels and Growth The preliminary results of the 2000 Census puts the population of Pasay City at 363,000, which represents a reduction of about 2.34% from its 1995 population. Since the 1903 census, Pasay’s population growth had been greater than the rest of Metro Manila only in the years 1918 to 1948 (Table 3.1.). The rest of the census years showed Pasay growing more slowly than the rest of Metro Manila. Population growth was only decelerating until 2000, which saw actual reduction. The decelerating trend implied other areas in Metro Manila became more attractive as settlement areas than Pasay City (e.g., Makati, Paranaque). The actual reduction implied it has become an out-migration area. Among the 17 localities in the National Capital Region (NCR), Pasay City ranked 12th in population size, 11th in number of households, 13th in average household size (which is less than NCR’s 4.62), 16th in annual growth and 4th in population density (more than the density of NCR). 3.1.2. Distribution Pasay City was among the most congested localities in NCR with a population density of 25,533 in 2000.
