Covering a vast area of nearly 157 square kilometres, the locality had a population of 215 at the 2021 Census — down from 327 in 2006 — reflecting the long-term decline common to small agricultural settlements across inland New South Wales.

Practical services are available in Werris Creek and Tamworth, with Tamworth offering the full range of regional amenities including hospitals, schools, and shopping.
