As can be seen from the chart above, Christians almost always constituted the sole inhabitants of this settlement. At the turn of the century there were only one or two Muslims living in the village (possibly foresters or policemen stationed there). The population had a steady increase during the British period, growing from 44 in 1891 to 86 in 1960.
Displacements
All of Panagra’s inhabitants were displaced in 1974 when between July and August they fled from the advancing Turkish army to the southern part of the island. Currently, like the rest of the Greek Cypriot refugees, the Greek Cypriots of Panagra are scattered throughout the island’s south. The displaced population of this small village can be estimated to be around 100 since its population was 96 in 1960.

Current Inhabitants:
In 1978, the village was used for the settlement of displaced Turkish Cypriots from the southern part of the divide and Turkish farmers from Turkey. The majority of the Turkish Cypriots are from the Paphos and Limassol districts. Those who have their birthplace in Turkey are mainly from the Çarşamba region of the Black Sea coast and Eleşkirt (Ağrı) of eastern Turkey. The 2006 Turkish Cypriot census puts the village’s population at 213.
