The municipality's population density is and its population has decreased by 12.1% over the previous 10-year period. The municipality of Rendalen was established on 1 January 1965 when the old municipalities of Ytre Rendal (population: 1,913) and Øvre Rendal (population: 1,629) were merged. On 1 January 1984, the unpopulated Spekedalen valley was transferred from Tynset Municipality to Rendalen. The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Rendalen valley (Reindalr) which is located in the municipality. The first element is rein which means "reindeer". The last element is dalr which means "valley" or "dale". The river Rena runs through the valley and it is not known if the valley was named after the river or if the river was named after the valley. A nearby mountain Renafjellet also has a similar name. The coat of arms was granted on 2 June 1989. The official blazon is "Azure, two reindeer heads argent in pale" (I blått to sølv reinsdyrhoder, 1-1). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is two reindeer heads. The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The design symbolizes the importance of reindeer farming in the community. The arms are a canting since the name Rendalen is derived from the word for reindeer. There are two heads to represent the two former municipalities of Øvre Rendal and Ytre Rendal which were merged in 1965 to form this municipality. The arms were designed by Arvid Sveen. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.
