As can be seen from the chart above, in the Ottoman census of 1831, Christians constituted the absolute majority of the inhabitants of the village. At the turn of the century there were only one or two Muslim inhabitants in the village. The population of the village showed a slight increase during the first half of the 20th century, and continued to rise gradually, from 331 in 1946 to 366 in 1960.
Displacement:
Most of the village’s inhabitants were displaced in 1974. They fled in August 1974 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 Gaidouras are scattered throughout the island’s south, with small pockets in towns. The number of the Greek Cypriots who were displaced after the 1974 war was around 320 (314 in 1973 census).
Current Inhabitants:
This village was mainly used for the settlement of Turkish nationals from Turkey in 1976 and 1977, mostly from the Osmaniye and Adana provinces in southern Turkey. According to the 2006 census the population of the village was 510.
