In the 2020 census, Boliney had a population of 4,551.[3] The population density was 21 inhabitants per square kilometre (54/sq mi).
The municipality's population consists of the Cordillera sub-tribes, namely Masadiit of the Tingguian Tribes, Belwang of the Igorot and Balatoc of the Kalinga tribe. Descendants of the other Tinguian sub-tribes are also represented in Boliney such as Binongan, Banao, Maeng, Ammotan (now called Muyadan of Manabo).
Economy
The main source of livelihood of the people of Boliney comes from their rice terraces. But most of their rice lands were either seriously damaged or totally lost due to the landslides, mud piles, and by the killer quakes in 1990 and 1992. They get most of their rice now from Bangued, while other mountain municipalities supplied some of the rice needs of some nearby lowland municipalities.
Rehabilitation have been on the communal facilities such as roads, trails, irrigation systems, footbridges and rice fields by the Masadiit Farmers Cooperative Inc. (MFCI) with the fund amounting to ₱2,903 million from the Presidential Management Staff and by the Inter NGO Disaster Relief Services (INDRS) with the fund amounting C$292,516.00, ₱7 million from Oxfam.
Transportation
Boliney is situated 62 kilometres (39 mi) from the capital town of Bangued, and can be reached by road which was completed in 1974. Prior to this, it was accessible only by hiking a 24-kilometre (15 mi) long mountain trail.
After 1974, the road was extended by about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) before reaching Danac, the farthest barangay. The present-day road is now as far as the Poblacion; however, the rest of the road has been abandoned.
