I am sorry to say it, but nothing can be done to heal old saves. I can only advise on the future of what to do to avoid it.
After each patch, you need to delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. In this file, the game errors can be saved.
Save the game always option "save as.." adding another number. Keep two last saves - older one you can delete by click on the X mark in the right corner.
If you will see the first serious bugs in the game -don't wait! Try doing the reset of the game folder in the same way as you have done now
But if you will do like as described above, I don't think you will need it.

@kreatora But do you know what caused that issue? Cause I’ve been playing for days after the game patched. And this problem happened suddenly while i was in the game. What if it recovers by it self. I mean what if next time i open the game i have not that problem anymore? Impossible?

I don't think so. If something is broken - it stays broken. If it were different, people would close the broken car in the garage and believe that it will repair itself.
What caused it? I can only suppose that at some point the game could not read a file properly, as a result of which the inhabitants disappeared. Why has the file changed? Maybe because it was overwritten many times. Every time the number of inhabitants changed, the file had to change too.
When an error in the calculation arrived, the game has taken the zero score, which is always safer, from the point of view of the game and easily executable. It was enough to remove the inhabitants to make the result correct.
