Until World War II, the villages of Thisvi Municipality Units were notably developed. By the end of the war, the area’s population dropped, since its inhabitants started to abandon the villages and move to Thiva or Athens, or migrate to the US. According to the latest population census of Hellenic Statistical Authority (2011), Thisvi Municipal Unit has a population of 2,476 inhabitants.
