Population during each mayor's tenure
Every mayor since 1991, ranked by how population changed from their first day in office, next to North Macedonia over the same months. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); North Macedonia is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. thousands, 30 June estimate · State Statistical Office (MAKStat), estimated resident population on 30 June by municipality, on the 2021 census, the City of Skopje's ten municipalities added up by Politare, from 2021 (the municipal estimates before rest on the 2002 census and lump some of the City's municipalities together) · city (the City of Skopje's ten municipalities) data · as of Apr 2026.
