Following the war came great population shifts, as well as possible ethnic cleansing in the region. Thousands of Croats and Serbs left the area, while thousands of Bosniak refugees flooded in. By December 1997, the area's population was down to 59,367. Of these, 48,861 were Bosniaks (82%), 539 Serbs (1%), 9,144 Croats (15%), and 823 others (1.4*).

Latest population figures are mostly estimates. It is assumed that since 1997, a combination of returning refugees and steady birth rate has resulted in the area climbing back up to around 70,000 residents. As for the city itself, international organizations estimated that by 2004 there were 26,510 people within the city itself.
