At the 2001 Census, the parish population was 400, and it increased to 460 at the 2011 Census, and is now estimated to be around 600.

The village is notable for its reservoir, the oldest of the three situated in the area (the others being Royd Moor and Scout Dike). During extreme droughts in the summer the reservoir has dried up to the extent that the old bridge over the original stream, Summer Ford Bridge, can be seen. Development is mostly laid out along two roads: older houses and farms along the former turnpike, Huddersfield Road, the A629 and newer housing estates along Wellthorne Lane. It has one public house, the Fountain Inn, which reopened in 2021 having been saved from demolition. There is an agricultural suppliers and hardware shop on the edge of the village on Huddersfield Road. The Grange is the oldest extant building in the village, dating to 1624. This and a number of other properties in the older part of the village are Grade II listed.
