Saint Philip is the least populated parish of Antigua, home to 3,689 people in a 2018 estimate. Saint Philip is mostly xeric scrub and is composed of two peninsulas separated by Nonsuch Bay and Ayers Creek. The most densely populated part of the parish is the northern peninsula, with only scattered settlement along the coast and in the southern scrubland. Saint Philip is the easternmost part of the country, with its rough Atlantic coast having many coral reefs, bays, and inlets. Saint Philip has a large number of offshore islands and is at a slightly higher elevation than the rest of the island. The southern peninsula tends to be more elevated than the northern peninsula.

Axarplex has determined that the centre of population of Antigua in 2011 was 17.0824356740° N, -61.8127506700° W. This was calculated by first finding the geographic centre of each enumeration district, and then weighting these coordinates based on population. The 2011 centre of population is located in ED 33502 (St. Claire–All Saints Road). This data does not include Barbuda.

Due to the lack of official main language data from the Antigua and Barbuda Statistics Division, Axarplex has estimated the main languages of the population of Antigua and Barbuda based on available 2011 data. It should be noted that nearly all Antiguans and Barbudans can fluently speak standard English. The main language in this context is the language the speaker uses the most in all daily situations. ABC in this table refers to Antiguan and Barbudan Creole.

The most prevalent political concerns in the 2025 Barbuda Council elections (late March) are land rights, the environment, and failing infrastructure. With the emergence of the "Plan Barbuda" movement, more Barbudans are involving themselves in the issue of land rights. The central government has also commenced the land adjudication process in most of the island's districts. Related to the issue of land rights, some Barbudans are also concerned about the potential environmental impact of new developments. Barbuda's infrastructure has also not fully recovered from Hurricane Irma, with both the central government and Barbuda Council competing to improve them.
