Based on the 2020 Census of Population and Housing (2020 CPH), the total population of Tubigon as of 01 May 2020 was 47,886.

The total population of Tubigon accounted for about 3.43 percent of Bohol’s population in 2020.

In general, the total population of Tubigon is increasing in the last 20 years (Figure 1). The 2020 total population of the municipality is higher by 7,501 persons compared with the population in 2000 (Table 1). Meanwhile, in comparison to the 2015 counts, it is higher by 1,993 persons.

The total population of Tubigon decreased by 0.90 percent annually, on average, during the period of 2015 to 2020. By comparison, the municipal population growth rate during the period of 2010 to 2015 was at 0.42 percent (Table 2).

Among the thirty-four (34) barangays comprising the municipality, Tinangnan had the biggest population in 2020 with 3,254 persons, followed by Macaas with 2,851 and Cabulihan with 2,657. Ubay Island had the smallest population with 223 (Table 3).

Of the thirty-four (34), ten (10) barangays posted more than 2,000 inhabitants (Table 4), while there were twenty-four (24) barangays with less than 2,000 inhabitants (Table 5).

The total land area of Tubigon is approximately 81.87 sq. m. In 2020, its population density was posted at 585 persons per square kilometer. This is 24 persons lower per sq. m. posted in 2015 which is posted at 561.

The population figures used in this report were from the results of the 2020 CP. To derive the population density of the number of persons per square kilometer of land, only the population residing in the Philippine territories were considered at the national level. Hence, Filipinos in the Philippine embassies, consulates, and missions abroad were excluded from the population count. Meanwhile, the land areas were based on the 2013 Masterlist of Land Areas of Cities and Municipalities provided by the Land Management Bureau (LMB) to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

The 2020 CPH was undertaken by the Philippine Statistics Authority pursuant to Republic Act Np. 10625, also known as the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013, Executive Order No. 352 – Designation of Statistical Activities That Will Generate Critical Data for Decision-Making of the Government and the Private Sector, and Batas Pambansa (BP) Bilang 72, which provide the basis for the decennial conduct of the integrated census of population and housing.

May 2020 was declared as the National Census Month pursuant to the Proclamation No. 928, s. 2020, which provided that the 2020 CPH be conducted in May 2020, with 1 May 2020 as the census reference date.

However, in light of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the census enumeration was moved to September 2020. Information on the count of the population was collected with 12:01 AM of 1 May 2020 as the reference time and date, in accordance with the provisions indicated under BP 72.

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has declared official for al purposes the population counts by province, city/municipality, and barangay based on the 2020 CPH under  Proclamation No. 1179 dated 06 July 2021. The population counts were based on census questionnaires administered by about 112,000 enumerators deployed during the nationwide census taking.

The successful completion of the census-taking amidst the COVID-19 pandemic would not have been possible without the cooperation and support of the census respondents and barangay officials nationwide. The PSA would also like to thank the members of the national and local census coordinating boards, officials of national government agencies and local government units, media practitioners, private agencies, non-government organizations, homeowners’ associations, building administrators, and all other census stakeholders. Credits also go to the hundreds of enumerators, supervisors, and other census workers hired by the PSA for the 2020 CPH.
