At the 2006 National Census, its population was 16,255 in 4,667 households.[3] The following census in 2011 counted 15,056 people in 4,953 households.[4] At the latest census in 2016, the district had 20,896 inhabitants in 7,272 households.[2]

According to some sources, the majority of people in northern Qazvin (Alamut) are Tats who speak a dialect of the Tati language.[5][6][7][8][9][10] However, other sources claim that the majority of people in Alamut are Mazanderani[11] or Gilaks who speak a dialect of the Mazanderani language or Gilaki language.[12][13]

According to some linguists, the term ‘Tati’ was used by Turkic speakers to refer to non-turkic speakers.[14][15][16] This could explain why some sources claim the people of Alamut are Tats, while others claim they are Mazanderanies or Gilaks. Likely, the ‘Tats’ of Alamut are Mazanderani[17] or Gilak speakers who have been labeled as Tats as historically they were considered Mazanderani or Gilaks.[18][19][13]
