Demographics
The gmina has a sizable Ukrainian catholic community.[1] After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the border with the Russian enclave Kaliningrad was closed, resulting in declining economic activity, and amidst fear of Russian intrusions, investors and tourists started avoiding the town, causing population decline and population ageing. In 2025 mayor Krzysztof Baran reported that there were just 30 children among the 6.400 inhabitants of the municipality.[2]
