The population of the former municipality at the 2011 census was 918. [2] The total number of registered citizens of Çarçovë is 2.969 as of 2019. [3] At the 2015 local government reform it became a subdivision of the municipality Përmet. [4] The municipal unit consists of the villages Çarçovë, Vllaho-Psilloterë, Biovizhdë, Zhepë, Draçovë, Iliar-Munushtir, Strëmbec, Pëllumbar and Kanikol.

[8] In Biovizhdë there is a significant Aromanian minority population. Their presence was originally temporary, related to their transhumant lifestyle, before becoming permanent in the village. [9] According to a 2014 report by the Albanian government, there were 245 ethnic Greeks in Vllaho-Psillotere and 200 in Biovizhde in the total number of registered citizens. [10] Some Biovizhdë Aromanians have migrated to Albanian cities. [9] In Vllaho-Psilloterë, three Muslim Albanian families used to live there with a single member from one family still remaining in the early 2010s. [8] Some Greek speakers also exist in the nearby villages of Zhepë ( Greek: Ζέπο) and Draçovë ( Greek: Δράκοβο).
