With 547 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017), Saint-Eusèbe 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 there were still 622 inhabitants in Saint-Eusèbe). Since the beginning of the 1980s, however, there has been a significant increase in population.
