Population Levels, Growth, Distribution and Movements - Levels and Growth Pattern

The City of San Jose Del Monte registered a total population of 315,393 in the year 2000 Census conducted by the National Statistics Office. This figure represents a more than fifty percent increase from the 1995 population of 201,006. The City has consistently displayed high growth rates since 1903 relative to other cities and municipality bounding Metro Manila. For instance, Metro CALA in the south which comprises Trece Martires City, Silang, Gen. Trias, Imus, Dasmariñas, Carmona and Gen. M. Alvarez in Cavite as well as Calamba, Cabuyao, Los Baños, Biñan, Sta. Rosa and San Pedro in Laguna registered an AAGR of only 6.6 from 1995 to 1997 which is more than fifty percent less than that of the City for the period 1995 to 2000 which is 10.15. The highest growth rate was observed in the period 1970 to 1975 at 25.84 while the lowest was observed in the period 1980 to1990 at 4.58 (Table 3.1 refers). From 1970, the overall average annual growth rate (AAGR) up to 2000 had been at a very high 9.87 percent. The population of the City has been growing at an exponential rate. This means higher growth rates can be expected in the coming years.

Evidence of urban sprawl is apparent in the data. For instance, as compared to the average annual growth rate in Metro Manila for the period 1995 to 2000 which is only 1.06, the City registered a very high growth rate of 10.15 for the same period. Moreover, the rates of growth of adjacent provinces are all up to five times greater than that of Metro Manila. For instance the growth rates of the provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal registered a higher growth rate of 4.93, 5.45, 4.08 and 5.79 respectively. This illustrates that as the saturation point of the growth rate is reached in the NCR, growth is spilled over fringe areas like San Jose Del Monte. Evidence of saturation can already be seen in cities within the metropolis which exhibited negative growth (i.e. Manila, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Malabon, Makati, Muntinlupa, and Pasay).

Among the fastest growing barangays in the period 1995 to 2000 are Muzon, Kaypian, Gaya-gaya, Sto. Cristo and Graceville which exhibited AAGRs of 42.39, 25.48, 23.20, 23.03, and 17.69 respectively. These barangays are strategically located in the southwestern part of the City that is adjacent to Kalookan and Quezon City and served by a major arterial road.
