Population development

In 1991 the municipality had 2,541 inhabitants according to the census, in 2001 it had 2,999 inhabitants. The strong growth occurred because both the birth balance (+183) and the migration balance (+275) were positive. From 2001 to 2011 there was an emigration that could not be reversed by the positive birth balance, so that the population fell to 2,959.
