Podaca as a part of the Makarska littoral is completely oriented towards tourism, with fairly limited olive agriculture. There were about 660 inhabitants (data from 2009 census) population of Podaca. As of 90s there has been a trend of older population from neighboring regions (mostly Bosnia & Herzegovina) retiring to live in the area, hence extending the use of summer vacation houses. However many of the local youth are also leaving the area for education and especially for work abroad more frequently since Croatia joined European Union.
