Number of residents in central Athens declining
The number of people living in central Athens has declined by 20 percent over the last 10 years, according to figures from the recent national census.
Sources told Kathimerini that there are just over 655,780 people living within the boundaries of the Municipality of Athens.
Athens Mayor Giorgos Kaminis recently expressed concern about the number of people leaving the city and particularly the downtown area, which has been plagued by crime in recent years.
