Demographics
The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known through the population censuses carried out in the commune since 1793. From 1 January 2009, the legal populations of the communes are published annually in the framework of a census which is now based on An annual information gathering, covering successively all the communal territories during a period of five years. For communes with less than 10 000 inhabitants, a census survey covering the whole population is carried out every five years, with the legal populations in the intermediate years being estimated by interpolation or extrapolation.[3] For the commune, the first comprehensive census under the new system was carried out in 2004,[4][5]
In 2014, the commune had 851 inhabitants, an increase of 6.51% compared to 2009 (Ille-et-Vilaine: 5.31%, France excluding Mayotte: 2.49%).
Inhabitants of Brie are called Briens in French.
