The province of Bulacan can be categorized into two (2) major land classifications according to the DENR. These are Alienable and Disposable (A & D) and Forest Lands. The A & D areas refers to lands of public domain which have not been the subject of the present system of classification and declared not needed for forest purposes. These are classified into settlements, built-up and production areas. It is estimated that about 66% (1,851 sq. km.) of the total land area in Bulacan is A & D based on DENR-LMB records. Forest Lands on the other hand are further categorized into three (3), protected forest land (NIPAS), Non-NIPAS Protection Forests and the production forests. In the province of Bulacan, forest lands are found on the western part where the watershed and other protected areas are located. This includes Angat Watershed, General Tinio watershed, Ipo watershed and Biak-na-Bato National Park [source says 'Part'].

Based on the available land classification map of the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP), the whole town of Paombong is classified under the A & D lands. This means that lands in the town can be owned by any private individual.

Of the 14 barangays in Paombong, Barangay Pinalagdan grew the fastest at the rate of 3.71. This is higher than the rate of the municipality and of the province. With this rate, the population of Barangay Pinalagdan is expected to double in 19 years. Further, seven (7) barangays (50%) had growth rates higher than the municipal rate. Conversely, Barangay Malumot, Masukol, and Poblacion had negative growth rate at (-3.16), (-3.89), and (-1.30), respectively. Factors affecting change in the population are birth and death rate, and migration.

The economically productive age groups 15-64 years old constitute 66% of the total population of Paombong in 2015. The remaining 34 percent constitute the dependent population that belongs to 0-14 years old or the young dependents and 65 years old and over or the old dependents.

In terms of age and sex distribution, there were more males than females in age groups 0 to 34, 45-49, and 55-59 in 2015. In contrast, there were more females than males in age groups 35-44, 50-54, and in the older age group 60 years old and over.

Urban barangay as defined by the PSA, is a barangay with the population of 5,000 or more. In 2010, two (2) barangays in Paombong out of its 14 barangays were classified as urban and in 2015, Barangay San Jose was classified urban resulting to the increase of the number to 3 urban barangays. The level of urbanization in 2015 or the proportion of urban populations to the total population of Paombong was 44 percent.

According to the PSA, the 2015 based populations may be projected up to five (5) years (for lesser projection error) that can be used for planning and targeting. They also released projection of populations of the national level down to provincial level. However, no population projection is available at the municipal and barangay level. Despite the remarked bigger error in projecting the population at the municipal and barangay level, the projected population presented in Table 9 was computed for planning purposes only. The projection of populations was calculated using the geometric method wherein the geometric growth rates assumed that the annual net addition to the base population is included in the computation of population growth.

The population of Barangay Malumot, Masukol, and Poblacion cannot be projected because of the negative growth rate of the said barangays from 2010 to 2015 population. The projected population of the province is not equal to the total projected population of cities/municipalities due to different annual growth rates.
