The household population of the Philippines reached 112.33 million in 2024, accounting for 99.6 percent of the country's total population of more than 112.73 million, according to data released by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) on Tuesday.

The figure was 3.4 percent, or 3.66 million higher, than the 108.67 million household population recorded in 2020.

The PSA defines household population as all individuals living in housing units. It said the remaining 0.4 percent of the total population comprised the institutional population, which includes individuals living in collective or institutional living quarters such as hospitals, orphanages, and military camps, as well as Filipinos residing in Philippine embassies, consulates and missions abroad.
