At the 2021 census, it had a population of 72.[1] It had a public school from 1868 to 1942, often operating "half-time" or "house to house".[4]
A public school operated at Anembo from 1868 until 1942. For much of this time, it functioned under “half-time” or “house-to-house” arrangements, whereby a single teacher was shared between small rural schools or moved between homesteads (NSW Department of Education archives, as cited in regional school histories). The area lies on the traditional lands of the Ngarigo people, who, along with the Walgalu and southern Ngunnawal, maintain enduring cultural ties to the Monaro.[5]
