The civil parish has an area of 2.21 km2 (0.85 sq mi) and had a population of 186 in 62 households in the 2001 census, the population falling to 173 at the 2011 Census.[2] For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of South Norfolk. A single parish council serves the two parishes of Alpington and Yelverton.[3]
