In the 2001 census there were 229 inhabitants (main residence cases) and 219 inhabitants were counted in 2011. There are also several secondary residences or weekend houses.

history
Until the abolition of the manorial rule in 1848, the Schwaighof grounds were owned by the following:
- ~ 1050–1158: Counts of Formbach
- 1158–1163: Margraves of Styria
- 1163–1530: Canons of Vorau
- 1530–1848: Reign of Thalberg
Margrave Ottokar III. founded the canons of Vorau in 1163 for numerous reasons - including a forest that stretched at the foot of the Wechsel , above Friedberg from diving to the upper Limbach.
The later Amt Schwaighof was created through clearing and instead of a previous Schwaighof , the village of Schwaighof was founded at the beginning of the 13th century. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the office was sometimes called "Köppelberg" .
In 1530 the office was sold to the rulers of the nearby Thalberg Castle as a sacrifice of the Quart (a papal authorization through which King Ferdinand was allowed to confiscate and sell a quarter of the spiritual goods in order to finance the armament against the Turks) . Despite several attempts, the Vorau canon monastery was no longer able to buy back the grounds.
About the name
In place of today's village there was a Schwaighof until the beginning of the 13th century , which gave the village its name.
The ai has prevailed in the spelling . The associated cadastral community , however, is called "Schw ei ghof". Even the historian Fritz Posch , who was important for the region , sometimes used the spelling with ei .
The Sacred Heart Chapel
Schwaighof is the crossing point and refreshment point for numerous hiking trails
