Demographics
As of 2021, Goesan-gun has a population of about 40,000 people.[1] The area has been affected strongly by the graying of the South Korean population, and more than a third of residents are over the age of 65.[1] Schools have closed as urbanization and falling birthrates in Korea have resulted in a declining number of children to attend them.[1] One school, to prevent closure due to low enrollment, offers free housing to families with school-age children.[1]
