To the north the municipal area extends to the height of Ivrey ( 626 m ) and with a long narrow tip to the northeast to the densely wooded ridge of the Bois de la Chainée ( 606 m ).

With 61 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017), Ivrey is one of the smallest communities in the Jura department. After the population had decreased markedly in the first half of the 20th century (191 people were still counted in 1881), only minor fluctuations have been recorded since the mid-1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Ivrey was a village dominated by agriculture and forestry. Even today, the residents live mainly from their work in the first sector. Outside the primary sector there are few jobs in the village. Some employed people are commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The village is located away from the larger thoroughfares. The main access is from La Chapelle-sur-Furieuse. There are other road connections with Saint-Thiébaud and Saizenay.
