According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 192,063 people. The city lies on the western shores of Davao Gulf and southern foothills of Mount Apo on the island of Mindanao, centrally located between the three major cities in Mindanao, Davao City in the north, General Santos in the south and Cotabato City in the west. It is the second most populous city in Davao del Sur after the highly-urbanized city of Davao as well as the fourth most populous city in Davao Region, and it is also considered as part of Metropolitan Davao. It is known for its sweet-juicy 'carabao variety mango,' sold locally and exported abroad, thus being dubbed as the Mango Capital City of the Philippines. It is also considered as The Gate City Of The South. On September 8, 2000, Digos was converted into a city.
