The table below shows the total peak population for the City of Sidirokastro, for each design phase.
Peak Population of served communities | |||
| Community | Population 2001 | Projected Population in 20 years | Projected Population in 40 years |
| Sidirokastro | 5.632 | 7.292 | 9.441 |
| TOTAL | 5.632 | 7.292 | 9.441 |
