Goesan County


Goesan County is a county in North Chungcheong Province, South Korea.

Demographics

As of 2021, Goesan-gun has a population of about 40,000 people. The area has been affected strongly by the graying of the South Korean population, and more than a third of residents are over the age of 65. Schools have closed as urbanization and falling birthrates in Korea have resulted in a declining number of children to attend them. One school, to prevent closure due to low enrollment, offers free housing to families with school-age children.
