Kamatero is largely a residential area, but the populace has a distinct working and lower-middle class character. The residential development is considerable, but this is not met by a matching development of local enterprise.
Businesses
Aside from small family businesses, Kamatero houses four banks, a sports centre, a post office and a few small factories. One of these was destroyed in a major fire on 10 October, 2003. However, there is a considerable growth of small-scale businesses, such as stores and restaurants, mostly focused around the town squares (plateies)
Education
Kamatero has 8 elementary schools, 3 lower-level secondary schools, and 2 upper-level secondary schools (high schools), as well as a technical school. Most high school graduates enroll in the universities and technical colleges of Athens or other Greek cities.
Earthquake
Athens was struck by a major earthquake on September 7, 1999. Kamatero was very close to the epicentre, and several houses were heavily damaged. There were no casualties, but the homeless were in the hundreds range.
