Angeles City had 483,452 residents in the 2024 census (PSA 2024 Census of Population (POPCEN 2024), reference date July 1, 2024). That is the most recent official count. There is no 2026 census result, so any 2026 population figure is an estimate.
Angeles City covers 63.37 km², per the PSA Philippine Statistical Yearbook figure used on this page.
Angeles City has 33 barangays.
Angeles City sits at the heart of Central Luzon's aviation and logistics corridor, built around Clark Freeport Zone and Clark International Airport — both converted from the former U.S. Clark Air Base after its 1991 closure. That closure came the same year Mount Pinatubo erupted, and the lahar the eruption deposited still shapes the city's planning reality: it continues to silt the Abacan and Sacobia-Bamban river systems, leaving an estimated 21.6 km², about 35% of the city's land area, flood-prone more than three decades later.

In November 2025, the Angeles City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office identified 14 high-risk barangays along the Abacan River and its Sapang Balen and Balibago creek tributaries, recommending pre-emptive evacuation planning ahead of the wet season. That planning was tested on September 1, 2026, when the city's DRRM Council recommended a state-of-calamity declaration after an enhanced habagat combined with a recent typhoon to flood 20 Pampanga localities; province-wide, 326,907 families were affected, though a city-specific evacuee count was not separately reported. Angeles City's population grew from 462,928 in the 2020 Census to 483,452 in the 2024 Census, among the faster growth rates in the region.
Officials coordinating Angeles City's lahar-legacy flood zones can compare notes with other Central Luzon cities in the LGU directory. Planning teams evaluating digital compliance tools can explore the pilot program or schedule a consultation.

Angeles City has to track flood-prone zones that trace back to a 1991 volcanic eruption, then update that picture as new high-risk barangays are identified nearly 35 years later — a planning problem that spans hazard mapping, zoning, and disaster response records that don't always live in the same place. Nova Gov's platform is built for exactly this kind of cross-department coordination, and the pilot program is designed to help planning offices bring hazard overlays and land-use records into one view.
When a habagat and a typhoon combine, as they did on September 1, 2026, Angeles City has to coordinate response across 14 identified high-risk barangays at once. See how a founding pilot could line up hazard overlays with zoning and permitting records ahead of the next event.
