It previously was part of the Mohács Subregion but during the creation of districts in 2013, it became part of Bóly District.

During the census of 2011, the population was 201. The vast majority of the population claimed Hungarian ethnicity (94.3%), though 50.7% also claimed German ethnicity and the municipality has a German local minority self-government.
