About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Greece town population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Greece town across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Greece town was 94,591, a 0.70% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Greece town population was 95,254, a decline of 0.78% compared to a population of 96,003 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Greece town increased by 377. In this period, the peak population was 97,017 in the year 2013. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

The annual population growth in Greece increased by one percentage points compared to the previous year. The year 2023 therefore marks a significant change in the population growth compared to the previous year. Population growth deals with the annual change in total population, and is affected by factors such as fertility, mortality, and migration.Find more key insights for the annual population growth in countries like Italy and Malta.

In 2023, the share of urban population in Greece remained nearly unchanged at around 80.67 percent. Nevertheless, 2023 still represents a peak in the share in Greece with 80.67 percent. The urban population refers to the share of the total population living in urban centers. Each country has their own definition of what constitutes an urban center (based on population size, area, or space between dwellings, among others), therefore international comparisons may be inconsistent.Find more key insights for the share of urban population in countries like Italy and Malta.

Abstract

The Household Budget Survey (HBS) is a national survey collecting information from a representative sample of households, on households’ composition, members’ employment status, living conditions and, mainly, focusing on their members’ expenditure on goods and services as well as on their income. The expenditure information collected from households is very detailed. That is, information is not collected on the basis of total expenditure categories like "food", ‘'clothing - footwear', "health ", etc., but separately for each expenditure, for example, white bread, fresh whole milk, fresh beef etc, footwear for men, footwear for women etc., services of medical analysis laboratories, pharmaceutical products etc.

The main purpose of the HBS is to determine in detail the household expenditure pattern in order to revise the Consumer Price Index. Moreover, the HBS is the most appropriate source in order to: - Complete the available statistical data for the estimation of the total private consumption; - Study the households expenditures and their structure in relation to their income and other economic, social and demographic characteristics; - Analyze the changes in the living conditions of the households in comparison with the previous surveys; - Study the relationship between households purchases and receipts in kind; - Study low income limits in the different socio-economic categories and population groups; - Study the changes in the nutritional habits of the households.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Frequency of data collection

The frequency of data collection is continual spread within the reference year.

Sampling procedure

The HBS survey is based on a two-stage stratified sampling of households from a frame of sampling which has been created on the basis of the results of the 2011 population census as regards the three first semesters of 2013, while, as regards the fourth semester, the sampling frame was updated based on the results of the 2011 population census. The first level of stratification is the geographical stratification based on the division of the total country area into thirteen (13) standard administrative regions corresponding to the European NUTS 2 level. The two major city agglomerations of Greater Athens Area and Greater Thessalonica Area constitute two separate major geographical strata. The second level of stratification entails grouping municipalities and communes within each NUTS 2 Region by degree of urbanization. i.e. according to their population size. The scaling of urbanization was finally designed in four groups:

= 30000 inhabitants 5000 - 29999 inhabitants 1000 - 4999 inhabitants 0 - 999 inhabitants

The former Greater Athens Area was divided into 31 household strata of about equal size on the basis of the social and economic characteristics of the Municipalities / Municipal Units where the households belong. Similarly, the former Greater Thessaloniki Area was divided into 9 equally sized household strata. The two Major City Agglomerations account for 40% of total population. The sampling covers completely the reference population. The sampling units are the households, while the units of analysis are the households and their members. The survey is conducted on a representative random sample of all private households of the Country, which have members aged between 16-74 years old, irrespective of their size or socioeconomic characteristics. The survey does not cover the institutional households of all types (hotels, hospitals, boarding houses, elderly homes, prisons, rehabilitation centers, camps, etc.), the households with more than five lodgers and the households with foreigners serving in diplomatic missions.

In 2013, the survey was conducted on a final sample of 3,468 households (sampling fraction 0.08% of the estimated total number of households in the country).

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Response rate

The non-response rate before substitutions was 31.9% (1,106 households refused to co-operate, were absent or unable to communicate due to illness etc).
