The political community Sankt Georgen ob Judenburg was established in 1849/50 and originally comprised the area of ​​the cadastral community Sankt Georgen.

Population development

While the decline in the number of inhabitants was slight in the second half of the 20th century, it rose sharply around the turn of the millennium. The reason for this is that emigration has increased and the birth balance has become negative. The decline affects the youth particularly hard. The proportion of those under the age of fifteen fell by 30.6 percent between 2001 and 2019, while those over the age of sixty-five increased by 19.1 percent over the same period.
