The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known through the population censuses made in the municipality since 1793. From 2006, the legal populations of the municipalities are published annually by INSEE. The census is now based on an annual information collection, successively concerning all the municipal territories during a period of five years. For municipalities with less than 10,000 inhabitants, a census survey relating to the entire population is carried out every five years, the legal populations of the intermediate years being estimated by interpolation or extrapolation [ 9 ] . For the municipality, the first exhaustive census falling within the framework of the new system was carried out in 2006 [ ten ] .

In 2020, the town had 467 inhabitants [ Note 3 ] , in decrease of 0.85%compared to 2014 (Yonne: −2.24%, France excluding Mayotte: +13%).
