641 700 (80.1%) : Greek Cypriots (including 2 600 Armenians, 4 800 Maronites, 900 Latins)

87 400 (10.9%) : Turkish Cypriots

72 500 (9%) : Foreign residents

Note: Prior to the Turkish invasion (July - August 1974) the two communities lived together in roughly the same proportions (4 Greek Cypriots to 1 Turkish Cypriot) in all six administrative districts of the island. Since the invasion, about 57 000 Turkish Cypriots emigrated, with the result that today they constitute only 10.9%% of the population compared to 18% before July 1974.
