At the time of the 2006 National Census, the village's population was 978 in 232 households, when it was in the former Qorveh-e Darjazin District of Razan County.[3] The following census in 2011 counted 955 people in 272 households.[4] The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 924 people in 282 households.[5]
