The Greek census (1920) recorded 628 people in the village and in 1923 there were 45 inhabitants (or 11 families) who were Muslim.[3] Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Klampousista there were 29 refugee families from Pontus.[3] The Greek census (1928) recorded 742 village inhabitants.[3] In 1928, there were 29 refugee families (128 people).[3]
Polyplatano had 428 inhabitants in 1981.[4] In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Polyplatano was populated by Slavophones and a Greek population descended from Anatolian Greek refugees who arrived during the population exchange.[4] The Macedonian language was used by people of all ages, both in public and private settings, and as the main language for interpersonal relationships.[4] Some elderly villagers had little knowledge of Greek.[4] Pontic Greek was spoken by people over 60, mainly in private.[4]
