It previously was part of the Mohács Subregion but during the creation of districts in 2013, it became part of Bóly District.

During the census of 2011, the population was 201. The vast majority of the population claimed Hungarian ethnicity (94.3%), though 50.7% also claimed German ethnicity and the municipality has a German local minority self-government. Other ethnicities included Roma (2.8%) and Croatian (1.4%). 1.9% did not wish to answer.

The village lies near the junction of motorways M6 and M60, both of which opened in the area in 2010 and currently provide links north to Budapest and west to Pécs, and will eventually provide links to the Croatian border at Ivándárda and Barcs.
