Andros has about 8,500 residents, of which 3,500 lived in the municipality of Chora.

A small number of people living in the north living off the island are descendants of Albanian emigrants who moved to Andros in the late Middle Ages. If you look closely, the villages in the north still leave a hint of 'Albania' and the population, Arvanites, still speak Arvanitika, an Albanian dialect.
