Bavaria's smallest community is shrinking: “We are becoming fewer and fewer”. In 2023 the population fell again.

There were more deaths than births. 35 girls and boys are currently attending the Jachenau kindergarten. 14 asylum seekers are currently accommodated in the community. In the tourism sector, Rauchberger reported an increase of two percent for 2023 compared to the previous year. The length of stay of guests fell from 5.4 to an average of 5.2 days. The balance of the cross-country skiing season was poor.
