At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Humpty Doo had a population of 4,313 people.<ref name=Census2021/> Its [[local government area]] is [[Litchfield Municipality]]. The town is a popular stopping point for tourists travelling between Darwin and [[Kakadu National Park]], and boasts many attractions of its own.
