This paper presents the results of the researches and analysis of the trends of the population, the number of households, and residential density according to the censuses from 1948, 1953, 1961, 1971, 1981, 1991 and 2002, based on the data for the municipalities (parts of municipalities) which belong to the reasearched area: Leskovac, Vladicin Han, Crna Trava, Surdulica, Vranje, and Bujanovac. The data were collected and analyzed for the total of 221 inhabited places. The decrease in the population of the rural inhabited places is the result of the decrease of the total population growth rate and migrations. The increase in the population of the Grdelicka gorge and Vranjska valley was typical for all the inter-census intervals until 1991, since the decline of the population in all parts of the area was typical for the latest inter-census period 1991-2002. The decrease in the population in the latest census-inerval was reported in Bujanovac, Surdulica, as well as in the areas which belongs to Leskovac and Crna Trava. The decline was also reported in Vladicin Han, whereas the increase in the population was reported only in Vranje. In this area, as well as in the greatest part of Serbia, the population migrated from the mountain to the lowland areas, and from the rural to the urban centers. The analysed demographic and socio-economic changes in the reaserched areas affected the decrease of the intensity of the erosion processes.
