Note on population The difference between the population numbers above and in the census (here and below) is that the population numbers above are mostly made up of permanent residents, etc.; and the census should indicate the place where people actually mainly live.
For example, a student is a citizen of a village because he has permanent residence there (he lived there as a child and has parents), but most of the time he studies at a university in the city.
The significant portion of the municipality's population consists of the local Roma community. In 2019, they constituted an estimated 45% of the local population, who are living in a settlement outside of the village core.[9]
