The population of the comune was 7800 according to the 2003 census, with the town proper accounting for about half of that; the frazioni of Trevi are Borgo, Bovara, Cannaiola, Coste, Pigge, Manciano, Matigge, Parrano, Picciche, S. Lorenzo, S. Maria in Valle. (The historical subdivisions of the comune are the terzieri of Castello, Matiggia e Piano; they come into play only for the Palio.)

Most of the town, densely inhabited and of decidedly medieval aspect, lies on sharply sloping terrain, only the very center being more or less flat. It commands one of the best views in Umbria, extending over 50 km (30 mi) in most westerly directions. Trevi is served by the main rail line from Rome to Ancona as well as the line from Florence to Rome via Perugia.
