In 1891 the British colonial authorities had 96 inhabitants, 91 of whom were Turkish and five were Greeks. In 1901 there were 133 inhabitants, 120 of whom were Turks and 13 Greeks. Thereafter, the number of Turks increased while the number of Cypriot Greeks decreased. In 1931 only 299 Turks were counted, in 1946 452, in 1960 there were 826. In the 1960 census there were 191 Cypriot Turks, in 1978 there were 165.
