The 1920 Greek census recorded 628 people in the village, and 45 inhabitants (11 families) were Muslim in 1923.[3] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Klampousista were from Pontus (29) in 1926.[3] The 1928 Greek census recorded 742 village inhabitants.[3] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 29 (128 people).[3]
Polyplatano had 428 inhabitants in 1981.[4] In fieldwork done by anthropologist 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]
