Abstract
We find an analytical solution for the minimal matter density of a void, its central density. It turns out that the voids are not so empty: most of the voids have the central underdensity (which means that the matter density in their centers is only two times lower than in the Universe on average). For small voids (of radius ~{Mpc}), the underdensity can be significantly greater, but the number of voids decreases rapidly with increasing of over , and voids with are practically absent. The large voids (~{Mpc}) always have .
