As with the neighbouring Gerakas entry, the catchment population figure reflects the broader Athens metropolitan catchment underlying the market's strongest member cluster, not a population unique to Elefsina itself. Cluster-level detail — the specific retail and civic anchors composing the cluster — is pending the underlying GIS dataset and is not included in this stub.
