At the time of the 2006 National Census, the village's population was 978 in 232 households, when it was in Darjazin-e Olya Rural District[c] of the former Qorveh-ye Darjazin District of Razan County.[7] The following census in 2011 counted 955 people in 272 households.[8] The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 924 people in 282 households.[2]

After the census, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Dargazin County. The rural district was transferred to the new Shahanjarin District and renamed Dargazin-e Olya Rural District.[4]
