3.2 Population Distribution /Density

The municipal population is unevenly distributed among its 37 barangays. Of these, Barangay Baybay has the highest concentration of people of about 4,684 representing 12.70 percent of the municipal population with a population density of 1,394 person per square kilometer. The second most thickly populated barangay is Fatima, with a population of 4,162 persons with a population density of 1,048 persons per square kilometer. High concentration of people in these barangays could be attributed to the fact these barangay classified as the urban area of Liloy and where most of the basic facilities and social amenities are located as well as the seat of the municipal government.

In terms of population density, Liloy has an average density of 343 persons per square kilometer and an urban density of 1,420 persons per square kilometer. Those barangays having a low population density are either interior barangays or agriculturally productive areas.
