La popolazione del comune di Gaiole suddivisa per Popoli di appartenenza, da notare che nel 1551 non esisteva la parrocchia di Gaiole, i cui abitanti facevano parte del Popolo di Vertine (!) e neppure quella di Coltibuono, all’epoca Badia Vallombrosana, soppressa (saggiamente), in epoca napoleonica.

Selvole invece compare nei primi tre elenchi, ma non nel censimento del 1936, località che andrà a far parte del Comune di Radda.
