| Qualitative Info |
Although there is no official data providing specific information on specific areas, the ethnic origin of the most segragated areas differ according to period of time and other circumstances. As Pavlou and Christodoulou suggest, "Albanian nationals, who constitute the largest proportion of the total immigrant population, appear to share residential space with Greeks. (...) On the other hand, immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe and from less developed Asian and African countries tend to concentrate in smaller communities, especially in the historical centre and in the outer zone of peripheral Attica’s sprawling urban areas, where unskilled foreign workers settle."
