Estimating Single Adult Women Population in Philippine Cities

Doc Travels Logo

Ever wondered how many single adult women might be living in your city of choice? In the Philippines, we can make a solid guess at this single population using a combination of general population data, gender ratio, the proportion of adults, and the percentage of single women. In this post, we break down these steps, so you can understand the process and apply it to any Philippine city.

Gender Ratio: A Fair Split

Let’s begin with the total population of a city. For our purposes, we will assume a rough 50:50 gender split. It’s not always going to be exactly accurate, but it gives us a fair starting point. After all, the actual gender ratio can fluctuate slightly city by city and year by year.

Sifting Out the Adults

The next step is to focus on adults. In 2015, around 60% of the Philippine population was aged 15 or older. This proportion might have changed slightly over the years, but we’ll use this as our basis.

Spotting the Singles

According to 2015 data, about 33% of Filipino women aged 15 and over had never been married. This percentage could change over time, but it’s a useful reference point for estimating the number of single adult women in a city.

Adding It All Up

Now we combine these figures. Start with the total population, apply the gender ratio, narrow down to adults, and finally identify the likely single women. With these steps, you can estimate the single adult women population in any Philippine city!

Remember, these are estimates. The numbers are based on broad demographic data and might not match the current realities perfectly. Always refer to the most recent census or survey data from reliable sources to get the most accurate information.
