2.1.2 Age Dependency Ratio

Santa Cruz, Laguna Comprehensive Development Plan 2018-2023

74
 The age dependency ratio compares the number of dependents (those who are less than 15
years old and those who are 65 years old and older) against the number of working age individuals
(those who are 15 to 64 years old). It is expressed as a percentage of the working age group. In 2013 the
age dependency ratio is 54.5%.

2.1.3 Labor Force and Employment

The working age group of the population is made up of persons 15 to 64 years old. In 2010,
there were 71,206 (64.71% of the total) individuals in this age bracket. In 2013 the estimated number of
working age people is 73,238, an increase of 2.85% from 2010 (see Table D-2). This group is almost
evenly divided into males and females.

2.1.4 School-Age Population

In 2013, the estimated portion of population in pre-school age (3–6 years old) is 9,512 (8% of
the total).See Table D-1. There are also 14,272 individuals (12% of total) of elementary-age (7–12 years
old). Secondary school age youth numbered 9,456 (8% of total), while there were 11,048 tertiary school
age persons (9% of total). Overall there were approximately 44,288 school age individuals, or 38% of
total population.

2.2 POPULATION DISTRIBUTION

2.2.1 Total Population by Barangay

Santa Cruz, Laguna Comprehensive Development Plan 2018-2023

74
 In the National Statistics Office Census of Population and Households of 2010, the five barangays
with the largest household populations are Santisima Cruz, Bagumbayan, Pagsawitan, Gatid and Calios.
The five least populous barangays are Alipit, Malinao, Poblacion III, Poblacion V and Jasaan (see Table D-
3).
There are slightly more males than females in the barangays of Alipit, Malinao, Oogong, Jasaan
and Santisima Cruz. The reverse – more females than males – occur in the barangays of Poblacion V, San
Juan, Poblacion II, Poblacion I and Santo Angel Sur.
Only five barangays – Poblacion V, Poblacion I, Poblacion III, Santo Angel Sur and Poblacion II –
have age dependency ratios at or below 50%. The highest age dependency ratios are found in the
barangays of Jasaan, Malinao, Palasan, Alipit and Santisima Cruz. A low age dependency ratio means
that there are more persons of working age compared to the number of dependents. Low age
dependency ratios are usually associated with higher income.

Santa Cruz is estimated to be 98 to 99 percent urbanized (see Table D-4). The only rural barangays are
Alipit, Jasaan and Malinao — all of which have low population. The tempo of urbanization from 1970 to
2010 has remained more or less constant (see table D-5).

2.2.4 Population Density

The town of Santa Cruz is classified as an urban municipality. The population density is 2,850
persons per square kilometer (see Table D-6). The density is above the standard prescribed by the
National Statistics Office, which is 1,000 persons per square kilometer.
As of 2010, Santa Cruz has a very high density of 2,874 persons per square kilometer, higher
than population density for Laguna, which is 1,406 persons per square kilometer. Barangay Poblacion IV
has the highest population density, with 1,202 household population concentrated in only 0.06 square
kilometers (6 hectares) of land. Next are the barangays of Santo Angel Sur and Poblacion 2, with almost
the same density. Barangay Santo Angel Central is the fourth most densely populated, while the fifth in
rank is Barangay Santisima Cruz. At the other extreme, the least dense barangays are the three rural
barangays of Alipit, Malinao, Jasaan, and the urban but less populous barangays of Palasan and San Jose.

2.3 POPULATION CHANGES

2.3.1 Historical Growth of Population

For the period of 2000 and 2010, Santa Cruz ranked seventh to Calamba City, San Pedro, Santa
Rosa City, Binan City, San Pablo City and Cabuyao City in terms of population size. The Municipality of
Santa Cruz contributed 4.2% to the total population of the province for the period of 2000-2010.

The major factors that contributed to the increase population growth rate are the influx of
workers coming from Metro Manila and nearby province and the increase in the number of residential
subdivisions being developed due to overspill of Metro Manila population.

 In 1948, Santa Cruz had a population of 22,534 representing 7.01% of the provincial population
of 321,247 (see table D-7). Twelve years later, the municipality’s population was 32,850, registering an
increase of 45.78% indicating an annual growth rate of 3.19%. This growth rate was slightly lower than
that of the province which was 3.26% for the same period. Between censal years 1960 and 1970, the
town’s population increased by 14,264 representing an average growth rate of 3.67% and later
decreased to 2.37% between 1980 and 1990.

Then, from 1990 to 1995, 2000 and 2010, the town’s population increased by 25,311
representing an annual growth rates decreasing from 2.57% to 1.81%. The decrease in growth rate may
have been influenced by the attraction exerted by better economic opportunities in the municipalities
along the fringes of Metro Manila, e.g. cities of Santa Rosa, Cabuyao, Calamba, Binan, San Pedro, etc.
causing out-migration from the locality.
The final report of the NSO for 2010 showed that the population in Santa Cruz represented
4.12% of the provinces total population. The municipality’s population is expected to reach 123,575 by
2016 and 135,143 by 2021. Table D-7 shows the population trend of the municipality and the province
of Laguna from 1948 to 2010 and the municipality’s projected population by barangay is shown in
Table D-8.

2.3.2 Fertility and Mortality

Crude Birth Rate

The crude birth rate (CBR) is the number of births divided by the midyear population, usually
expressed in terms of thousands. In 2007 the CBR was 27.03 births per 1,000. While there have been
some increases year to year, the trend of the CBR has been downward (see Table D-9).

Crude Death Rate

The crude death rate (CDR) is the number of deaths per 1,000 population. The CDR in 2007 is
6.22, while in 2011 it was 6.36. The overall trend has been a slight increase in mortality (see Table D-9).
