Of these, 48.6% of the population were men and 51.4% were women.
By province, 38% of the population, i.e. 351,600 people, were registered in Nicosia. In the province of Limassol were registered 258,900 people (28%), in the province of Larnaca 154,200 (17%), in the province of Paphos 101,900 (11%), and in the province of Famagusta 51,500, i.e. 6% of the total population.
