Males made up 1,673,108 (or 50.4%) of the total household population, while females made up 1,648,217 (or 49.6%). In terms of age, 993,111 (29.9%) were under the age of 15 (young dependents).

Meanwhile, among the older age group (55 years and over), females (12.1%) outnumbered the males (10.0%). In 2015, the same trend was seen. Sex ratio stands at 102 males per 100 females The sex ratio in the province was computed at 102 in 2020. This means that there were 102 males for every 100 females. This is higher compared to the sex ratio (100.3) recorded in 2015. In 2020, children aged below 15 years old had sex ratio of 107 males per 100 females, while those aged 15 to 64 years had a sex ratio of 102 males per 100 females. Moreover, among those aged 65 years and over, the sex ratio was 71 males per 100 females. This depicts a longer life expectancy among females than males or a higher mortality rate among males than females in the older age groups. Figure 2: Sex Ratio by Selected Age Group: Rizal, 2020 Source: Philippine Statistics Authority, 2020 Census of Population and Housing Median age increases to 26 years The median age of Rizal’s population was computed 26 years, which means that half of the household population was younger than 26 years, while the other half was older than 26 years. This is higher than the median age of 24.8 posted in 2015.
