Basic Demographic Profile

Household Size. Based on survey data, the City of San Fernando has an average
household size of 4.83, .i. e, on the average, a household has about five (5) members.
Thus, a common type of household constitutes a family with two (2) living parents and three
(3) children.
Average household size in the City reported by NSO in 2003 and 2007 were 5.00
and 4.96, respectively. The decreasing trend in the average household size is an indication
of increasing awareness and practice of responsible parenthood.
The household size is the sole determinant, in an inverse fashion, of per capita
income.

At a given income, individual member income decreases as household size

increases. It goes without saying that a large household with a small income is vulnerable to
poverty.
Gender, Age and Civil Status Distribution.

There is an almost equal distribution

of male (50.4%) and female (49.6%) population (Table 2). This uniform distribution is seen
across all barangays. Males outnumber females, to a little extent, in 22 barangays, including
Northville.

Conversely, there are a little more females than males in 14 barangays.

However, difference in proportions between the male and the female population is
insignificant. There has been a remarkable change in roles played by men and women in
the society. In particular, women, just like men, have also been bread winners for the last
several decades, i.e., they have become active members of the labor force. Therefore, it
can be construed that productivity relative to the labor force is not affected by gender
distribution since no particular gender, male or female, can be considered more productive
than the other.

In terms of age distribution (Table 3), there is a higher proportion of the population
belonging to the younger age groups (0-29 years old 56.1%) than in the older age groups
(30 or older 43.9%). The difference in proportions is also pronounced between the 0 to14 year old group (27.4%) and the 50 years old or older group (15.7%).
It can also be gleaned from Table 3 that age distributions across barangays do not
vary considerably from the overall distribution. These results indicate a growing population
which, to date, is an irreversible worldwide phenomenon. Positively, the larger number in
the younger generation provides an opportunity for the City Government to institute
programs intended to develop this generation into responsible and productive citizens.
An almost equal distribution of single (49.3%) and married (47.0%) population was
found (Table 4).

Less than 2% comprised the widowed population and less than 1%

revealed that they are separated from their legal spouses. This trend is likewise noted at the
barangay level. Socio-economically, the latter 2 groups, although much less in number, may
need the most attention from GOs and NGOs. This is not to discount, however, the sad
plight of some single and married population that experience domestic violence and other
dysfunctional or unfavorable family characteristics.
Religion. Resembling countrywide religion, the City of San Fernando is
predominantly Roman Catholic comprising 93.7% of the population (Table 5). San Pedro
posted the lowest proportion at 77.2% whereas Sta.Teresita (97.9%) and Quebiawan
(97.5%) have the highest proportions of Roman Catholics.

This implies the major role

played and influence prompted by the Catholic clergy and parishioners in the affairs of the
City.
