| Note: The data presented of 1976 and earlier (1956-1976) are from the censuses before Iranian Revolution and the data of 1986 and later (1986-2016) are from the censuses after it. The population of the county for the census 1956 is approximated by about 440% of Salmas's populations censused at the same year. Sources: "Population and Housing Census". Statistical Center of Iran.
