Demographic Evolution, Structure, Emigration and Immigration of the Population of Avram Iancu Commune

Summary/Abstract: The article presents and analyses the demographic situation, population structure, emigration and immigration of the inhabitants of Vidra de Sus, Avram Iancu commune since 1924. This name was taken in honour of the most important son of the locality, the great national hero Avram Iancu, one hundred years after his birth, since the first documented reference to the present. The demographic evolution of the inhabitants of Avram Iancu commune (former Vidra de Sus) until 1924 was closely related to the demographic evolution of Vidra, being a part (village) of this territorial administrative unit. After the Great Union, and having administrative autonomy since 1924, this remarkable locality evolves itself in the history of Transylvania, independently, as well as its population. The evolution of the population is characterised by a high birth rate, families with many children and was indeed a demographic "reservoir" for the adjacent and more remote areas of Țara Moților, Transylvania in particular, and Romania, in general. This locality with a majority Orthodox Christian population was characterised by the fact that the population was 100% Romanian over the centuries. The article provides detailed information and analyses the demographic data provided by the authorities over several centuries. It surprises the deportation and flight of the inhabitants until 1918, especially after the events of 1784 and 1848-1849, the emigrations and colonisation of the inhabitants after 1918, the depopulation of Avram Iancu commune from the last decades, etc.
