With 900 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017) Andilly is one of the small communities in the Haute-Savoie department. In the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, the number of inhabitants decreased continuously due to strong emigration (in 1861, Andilly still had 681 inhabitants). Since the beginning of the 1980s, however, there has been a significant increase in population thanks to the attractive residential area.
Economy and Infrastructure
Andilly is still today a predominantly agricultural village. There are also some local small businesses. A large number of workers are commuters who work in the larger towns in the area as well as in the Annecy and Geneva-Annemasse area.
The place is well developed in terms of traffic. The Jussy district is located on the N201 ( Saint-Julien-en-Genevois- Annecy). Other road links exist with Valleiry , Cernex and Saint-Blaise. The closest connection to the A41 motorway is around 10 km away.
