Meuse has no big cities to receive population and the total population of the department has thus decreased. It reached 328,657 inhabitants in 1851, with a population density of 52.9, but had fallen to 277,955 by 1911. Meuse experienced the greatest proportional population decline in French departments in just ten years, from 278,000 inhabitants in 1911 into just 207,000 in 1921. The First World War dealt a heavy blow to the department, and by 1921, only 207,309 inhabitants were recorded. Many residents had fled, and entire villages that were on or near the <a href="/wiki/Front_line" title="Front line">front line</a> in 1916 were destroyed. Meuse thus has several uninhabited communes because the villages were never rebuilt, and in fact are known as "Morts pour la France" ("Died for France"); the number of displaced persons from the villages varies from 131 to 718.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Since the end of the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Verdun" title="Battle of Verdun">Battle of Verdun</a> in 1916, these communes have been unoccupied with an official population of zero; the villages are <a href="/wiki/Beaumont-en-Verdunois" title="Beaumont-en-Verdunois">Beaumont-en-Verdunois</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bezonvaux" title="Bezonvaux">Bezonvaux</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cumi%C3%A8res-le-Mort-Homme" title="Cumières-le-Mort-Homme">Cumières-le-Mort-Homme</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fleury-devant-Douaumont" title="Fleury-devant-Douaumont">Fleury-devant-Douaumont</a>, <a href="/wiki/Haumont-pr%C3%A8s-Samogneux" title="Haumont-près-Samogneux">Haumont-près-Samogneux</a> and <a href="/wiki/Louvemont-C%C3%B4te-du-Poivre" title="Louvemont-Côte-du-Poivre">Louvemont-Côte-du-Poivre</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-pop2019_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pop2019-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the later part of the twentieth century the number of inhabitants in the department varied little but eventually fell below 200,000 inhabitants in the 1980s. </p><p>Because of its low population density Meuse is considered to fall within the <a href="/wiki/Empty_diagonal" title="Empty diagonal">empty diagonal</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Principal_towns">Principal towns</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Meuse_(department)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Principal towns"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The most populous commune is <a href="/wiki/Verdun" title="Verdun">Verdun</a>; the prefecture, <a href="/wiki/Bar-le-Duc" title="Bar-le-Duc">Bar-le-Duc</a>, is the second-most populous.
