| Residents | 7,345 | 4,956 | 3,407 | 2,451 |
The continuous population decline of the individual communities in the 20th century is essentially due to the mechanization of agriculture , the abandonment of small farms, the resulting loss of jobs and the migration of many villagers to the cities.
economy
The community is still largely agriculturally oriented, with livestock also playing a significant role. Craftsmen and small service providers of all kinds have settled in the towns themselves.
