The population for Khâi-Ma has increased to an estimated total of 12,465 people since the last census in 2011 (2016 Community Survey) with a growing rate of 0,83%. The municipality is sparsely populated (+/- 1 person/km2); most people are settled in its five (5) towns and surrounding farms. The municipality is characterized by vast tracts of land, pristine natural environment, unique mountains and its limited cell phone reception, which can be regarded as a unique attraction by some urban dwellers who wish to escape the rush of the cities. This inherent potential for eco-tourism needs to be exploited and managed in a sustainable manner in order to retain this unique setting.
