Demography

The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known through the population censuses carried out in the municipality since 1800. From 2006, the legal populations of the municipalities are published annually by INSEE. The census is now based on an annual collection of information, successively concerning all the municipal territories over a period of five years. For municipalities with less than 10,000 inhabitants, a census survey covering the entire population is carried out every five years, the legal populations of the intermediate years being estimated by interpolation or extrapolation. For the municipality, the first exhaustive census falling within the framework of the new system was carried out in 2006.
