Mayors Demographics Information on the evolution of the population size is available through the population censuses of Pujols, which have been conducted since 1793. Beginning in 2006, the official population count of towns has been published annually by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE). Currently, the census relies on a method whereby the INSEE collects data little by little from every municipality and town over a five-year period. For municipalities with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, a census survey of the entire population is conducted every five years. During the intervening years, the population size is estimated through either interpolation or extrapolation. The first exhaustive census of Pujols using the new method was carried out in 2006. In 2015, the municipality of Pujols consisted of 3,623 inhabitants, a 0.08% decrease from 2010. During the same time period, the population of the Lot-et-Garonne department increased by 0.69%, while the French population overall (minus the department of Mayotte) increased by 2.44%. Culture Pujols is a member of the organization The Most Beautiful Towns in France. Located in the countryside, Pujols is a calm and peaceful town, yet it is nonetheless a vibrant and pleasant place to live, with many cultural and athletic activities. Pujols also has a municipal pool (the pool of Malbentre), located on Malbentre Street, which complements the municipality's athletic and leisure activities, as well as those of the municipal community of Greater Villeneuve.
