At the National Census of 2006, its population (as a part of the former Qorveh-e Darjazin District of Razan County) was 16,900 in 4,065 households.[4] There were 16,536 inhabitants in 4,708 households at the following census of 2011.[5] At the most recent census of 2016, the population of the rural district was 14,392 in 4,591 households.
