The numbers of population increased abaout three times during the last 30 years. In these days Debant is going to become the third largest municipality of Eastern Tyrol as concerns its inhabitants.
This development is due to its advantageous traffic connections and large, free areas for private people and business enterprises that like settle down here.

Opposite Debant, on the other side of the valley, one can see the so called "LIENZER DOLOMITEN", which raise up almost 300 meters.

Tourism wasn’t as important as industry and especially with the settlement of numerous companies in and around Debant the prosperity of the community grew and with it its number of population.
Nowadays agriculture is becoming less important as more and more people settled down in this district. Most of its inhabitants are working in the nearby firms and shopping centres.
