Demographics
editPopulation
editAt the time of the 2006 National Census, Qasemabad's population was 2,196 in 450 households, when it was a village in Bampur-e Gharbi Rural District of the former Bampur District of Iranshahr County.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 2,073 people in 490 households.[7] The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 1,845 people in 467 households.[2]
In August 2017, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Bampur County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with the city of Bampur as its capital. The rural district was transferred to the new Kalatan District.[4] In June 2021, the village of Qasemabad was elevated to the status of a city.[citation needed]
