The town covers a large area of 84 square kilometres and recorded a population of 563 at the 2021 Census. Girgarre sits within the fertile irrigation country of northern Victoria, and dairying has historically been the dominant industry in the surrounding agricultural district.

Girgarre has a Memorial Hall and basic local facilities, with residents travelling to nearby Kyabram (11 kilometres to the north) or Shepparton for broader shopping, schools, and health services. The area appeals to those involved in agriculture or seeking affordable rural living in the Murray-Darling Basin irrigation region, with a strong sense of community connection.
