A fellow #Wikidata user had already imported the new population figures down to the municipal level (not yet barangay level) using QuickStatements.

To the practical joker the Census paper is irresistible, and we find several, suspicious-looking entries in the list. There is one Free Trader, a Good Citizen, a believer in “The Humanity of Ireland”, two Puritans, one gentleman who “is saved, but not connected”, a “Holy Roller,” and a “Holy Jumper”… the “Skyterrian” faith … claims two supporters.…
