What you submitted
“MichaeloKeeffe claims the foreign-born population of Greece rose from 6.9% in Jan 2001 to 11.0% in Jan 2025.”
TL;DR ·Current records lack the specific data points needed to verify Greece's 2025 population percentages.
WHAT WE FOUND
Hello there! I've taken a close look at the records provided to see if we can confirm these specific numbers for Greece's population growth. While the sources provide some context, I've marked this as UNVERIFIED because they don't contain the specific percentages mentioned in the claim. For instance, we know from the 2001 census that there were 797,091 foreign residents in Greece , and other reports suggest the immigrant population, including ethnic returnees, reached just over one million people . However, the specific figure of 6.9% for Jan 2001 is not explicitly mentioned, though one source notes the foreign population is roughly 7.1% . Most importantly, while there is a source discussing data from July 2025, it actually refers to economic response rates rather than immigration percentages . Without more direct evidence for that 11.0% figure in 2025, we simply can't confirm this trajectory!
