APPENDIX TABLE GR.7 Dates and nature of results on population structure, households/families and vital statistics Topic Introduction Population Population at census dates 1821– Population by age, sex, and marital status 1879, 1907– Households and families Households (ménages or oikogeneiai) Total households 1861, 1870, 1879, 1907, 1920, 1940, 1951 Households by size 1920, 1951 Households by composition 1951 continued Remarks The first population census after the begin of the Greek war of independence was held in 1821. The second followed in 1828. Until 1861 population censuses were held at short intervals, partly annually. From 1861 onwards a census period of approximately ten years was introduced. Special population censuses were held to cover newly-gained territories: in 1881 for Thessaly, Arta, and Crete, in 1900 for Crete (under Greek administration), in 1913 for the territories acquired during the Balkan wars (Macedonia, Crete, Aegean Islands, and northern Epirus), and in 1947 for the newly-acquired Dodecanese islands. The census of 1928 was induced by the Asia Minor refugee catastrophe of 1922. Historical population census data are given by NSSG, 1966: 12 (1839–1961), NSSG, 1980: 10 (1861–1971), Chouliarakis, 1973: XVIIIff., and Statistical Yearbook 1997 (1998), 41. Not published in 1870; published in the form of relative values in 1879 (1889 and 1896 not clear if published); extensively published for the first time in 1907 for all nomoi. Households (ménages, oikogeneiai) and calculation of mean household size is available since 1861. There was no distinction made for one-person households for the whole period; institutional households distinguished in 1920; 1940 population census not extensively published due to World War II. Disaggregation: by départements (nomoi), provinces (eparchiai), and communes (demoi) in 1870, 1879 (1889 and 1896 vol. not available), and 1920. In 1907 no household data published; household head by sex in 1920; in 1928 no household data published either. First time in 1920: households with 1–16 and more persons. In 1951 households with 1–20+ persons. First time in 1951.

Since 1949 the figures have been regularly produced. During the nineteenth century and still in the first half of the twentieth century vital statistics are underreported due to underregistration. 1931–39, Mouvement naturel de la population de la 1949– Grèce. 1927–28, Mouvement naturel de la population de la 1936–38, Grèce. 1956– 1927–28, Mouvement naturel de la population de la 1936–38, Grèce. 1956– 1860–84, See comment on live births. 1921–40, 1949– 1927–28, Mouvement naturel de la population de la 1936–38, Grèce. 1956– 1860–84, See comment on live births. 1921–40, 1949– 1960– – Annuaire Statistique de la Justice 1990; Mouvement naturel de la population de la Grèce; Statistical Yearbook of Greece; Eurostat, Demographic Statistics.
