Geography

Assenay is located some 12 km south of Saint-André-les-Vergers and 4 km east by north-east of Villery. Access to the commune is by the D123 road from Saint-Jean-de-Bonneval in the south-west passing through the village and continuing to Villy-le-Maréchal in the north-east. The D25 road from Saint-Jean-de-Bonneval to Moussey also passes through the north of the commune. Apart from a few scattered patches of forest the commune is entirely farmland.[2]

The Mogne river flows through the south of the commune from south-west to north-east. The Ruisseau d'Ormont flows eastwards through the village to join the Mogne east of the commune.[2]

Demography

In 2010 the commune had 151 inhabitants. The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known from the population censuses conducted in the commune since 1793. From the 21st century, a census of communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants is held every five years, unlike larger towns that have a sample survey every year.[Note 1]

Notes

  1. ↑ At the beginning of the 21st century, the methods of identification have been modified by Law No. 2002-276 of 27 February 2002, the so-called "law of local democracy" and in particular Title V "census operations" allows, after a transitional period running from 2004 to 2008, the annual publication of the legal population of the different French administrative districts. For communes with a population greater than 10,000 inhabitants, a sample survey is conducted annually, the entire territory of these communes is taken into account at the end of the period of five years. The first "legal population" after 1999 under this new law came into force in 1 January 2009 and was based on the census of 2006.
