Population

The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known through the censuses of the population carried out in the commune since 1793.
From 2006, the legal populations of the communes are published annually by INSEE. The census is now based on an annual collection of information, successively covering all municipal territories over a period of five years. For municipalities under 10,000 inhabitants, a census survey of the whole population is carried out every five years, the legal populations of the intermediate years being estimated by interpolation or extrapolation1. For the municipality, the first comprehensive census within the framework of the new system was carried out in 2007.
In 2016, the municipality had 293 inhabitants, a decrease of 2.66% compared to 2011.
