As can be seen from the chart above, in the Ottoman census of 1831, Christians constituted the only inhabitants of the village. Its population steadly increased from 91 in 1891 to 424 in 1960.
Displacement:
All of the village’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 displaced Greek Cypriots, the Greek Cypriots of Vouno are scattered throughout the island’s south, with small pockets in towns. The number of the Vouno Greek Cypriots who were displaced in 1974 was around 540 (525 in the 1973 census).
Current Inhabitants:
Today the village is mainly inhabited by displaced Turkish Cypriots from the island’s south, especially from Tokhni(374) village, but also from Limassol(269) and Kalavasos(355). There are also some Turkish nationals living in the village. The 2006 Turkish Cypriot census puts Taşkent’s population as a whole at 553; this figure includes both Vouno/Taşkent and Sichari/Aşağı Taşkent(246) villages.
