Population during each mayor's tenure

Every mayor since 1991, ranked by how population changed from their first day in office, next to Kosovo 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); Kosovo 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, 1 January · Kosovo Agency of Statistics (ASK), estimated population of the municipality at 31 December (dated at the next 1 January), from its PxWeb database (tab001), from the end of 2012; on the April 2024 census from the end of 2023 · city (the municipality of Pristina) data · as of Jan 2026.
