At the time of the 2006 National Census, the population was 7,249 in 1,371 households, as the village of Mohammadabad in Bampur-e Sharqi Rural District of the former Bampur District, Iranshahr County.[3] The following census in 2011 counted 8,193 people in 1,863 households,[4] by which time it had risen to the status of a city and renamed Mohammadan.[5] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 10,302 people in 2,550 households.[6]
