What portion of the population of Athens were citizens?

The population grew to about 250,000. Nearly a third were slaves, and 10,000 resident aliens, leaving 170,000. Citizens were males over 18 years who had been accepted into one of the ten tribes. This would indicate, allowing for wives and children, a citizenship of about 35,000 at its peak. This matches the size of the army and garrisons early in the Peloponnesian War, when most males were conscripted. This figure fell drastically by the end of the war in 404 BCE as a result of a plague and battle casualties greatly outstripping natural accretion.
