III. DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS
Population Size and Structure
With a total population of 582,602, Makati ranked ninth (9th) in terms of population
size among the 16 cities and one municipality of Metro Manila based on the 2015
Census of Population and Housing. It has a total of 154,095 households with an
average household size of 3.8.
The first census of population conducted in 1903 recorded a total of only 2,700
inhabitants in the city. The town’s population grew fast and steadily at 10.82 percent
annually until the end of year 1918. Population growth rates exhibited a fluctuating but
positive trend from then on until 1995. The unprecedented increase in the population
experienced during the period 1960-1970 was attributed to massive in-migration of
people to the city as it became the center of business and commercial activities in the
country.
During the period 1995-2000, however, historical data shows a significant reduction in
the city’s population, and thus a tremendous drop in the growth pattern registering a
negative annual growth of -0.57 percent during the 5-year period. The growth rate
picked up during the following 7-year period at 2.12 percent per annum, but
decreased again at -1.34 percent per annum between 2007 and 2010. As of 2010,
Makati’s population stood at 529,039, a level which is 196 times the population count
in 1903.
As of 2015, however, the city’s population increased by 216 percent compared to
1903 level.

trend, during the three-year period, but showed better performance compared with
the NCR. Cohort Survival improved in 2018 with 91.81% vis-à-vis 90.50 in 2017;

student ratio in elementary and secondary are below the national standard. Aside
from the high population, the implementation of K12 program or senior high school

high schools, similar to the situation of students in elementary.
