The municipal unit of Himarë is predominantly populated by an ethnic Greek community.The local population is bilingual in Greek and Albanian. In particular the town of Himarë and the villages of Dhërmi and Palasa, which together account for the bulk of the population of the municipal unit of Himarë, are mainly populated by a Greek population. The villages of Iljas, Lukovë, Kudhës, Pilur and Vuno are inhabited by an Albanian population, while Qeparo is inhabited by both Albanians and Greeks.  In the 2011 census, in the former municipality of Horë-Vranisht 83% declared themselves as Albanians and the rest didn’t provide a reply. In the former Lukovë municipality the population is Albanian (94%) with a small Greek minority (6%).
