All tables include commuting characteristics (mode of commuting, duration/distance), labour characteristics (employment income groups in 2015, Industry by the North American Industry Classification System 2012), and visible minority groups.

The global non-response rate (GNR) is an important measure of census data quality. It combines total non-response (households) and partial non-response (questions). A lower GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response bias and, as a result, a lower risk of inaccuracy. The counts and estimates for geographic areas with a GNR equal to or greater than 50% are not published in the standard products. The counts and estimates for these areas have a high risk of non-response bias, and in most cases, should not be released. However, it will be provided upon request. GNR values for POR and POW are different for each geography.

The number of people in the Philippines choosing to get life insurance significantly increased between 2016 and 2023. From merely 11 million in 2016, this figure has reached close to 33 million in 2023. Despite this, the penetration rate of the insurance industry in the country remained lower than the global average. Life insurance in the Philippines The ratio of the total insurance premiums to the population, or insurance density, was several times higher for life insurance than for non-life insurance in the Philippines. Individuals are more likely to get a life insurance policy as it provides financial protection to the family or beneficiaries of the insured in comparison to non-life insurance. There are two types of life insurance available - traditional and variable. Traditional life insurance focuses more on death or living benefits, whereas variable insurance policies are investment-linked insurance of a broader nature. As of 2023, traditional life insurance companies in the Philippines earned premium income amounting to approximately 105.2 billion Philippine pesos, which was significantly higher compared to 2016. In the same year, Sun Life of Canada (Philippines) and Pru Life Insurance Corporation (UK) were the two leading life insurance companies in the Philippines. Challenges to insurance penetration The Philippine economy has been poised for growth in recent years, with its middle-class population characterized by rising disposable incomes. However, this has not made significant contributions to the insurance industry in the Philippines, which remains to have one of the lowest penetration rates globally. Among the possible reasons for this have been low awareness and the affordability of insurance plans, especially among low-income households.

The Philippines' steady economic growth has resulted in the spurring of the country's life insurance business into a multi-billion-peso industry. In 2024, Sun Life Canada was the leading life insurance company in the country, with a premium income of approximately ** billion Philippine pesos. Sun Life of Canada: more information Sun Life Financial Philippines has been operating in the Philippines since 1895 and has become the longest-standing life insurance company in the country. The company offers a wide range of insurance products, investment opportunities, and even financial literacy. Its products also cover business owners, overseas Filipino workers, and pensioners. In 2024, Sun Life of Canada was also the leading life insurance company in the Philippines based on assets. Life insurance – a viable market As more and more Filipinos were made aware of insurance benefits through policy awareness campaigns launched by insurers, their clientele multiplied. Of the two kinds of life insurance policies, the variable life policy appeared to have been more popular. In 2023, the premium income of variable life insurances was higher than traditional life insurances.
