As of 2003, the town had an estimated population of 13,530 and a density of 986.87 persons per km2. The total area was 13.71 km2.

On April 1, 2005, Katsuren, along with the cities of Gushikawa and Ishikawa, and the town of Yonashiro (also from Nakagami District), was merged to create the city of Uruma.
