Males constitute 52% of the population and females 48%. Bargarh has an average literacy rate of 76%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; with 57% of the males and 43% of females literate. 11% of the population is under 6 years of age.

Other than Oriya speaking people who form the majority, the town has some [[Marwaris|Marwari]] community who have migrated and settled down. Within the Oriya speaking population, the major communities are [[Kuilta]]s, [[Dumal]]s, [[Agharia]]s, [[Bhulia]]/Meher, [[Teli]], etc. Kuiltas and Dumals are presumed to be an offshoot of the original Chasa (agrarian) community and are synonymous with the [[Khandayat]]s of the coastal region. This is evident by the striking similarity of rituals and the gods they pray. Bhulias were migrated to and settled in this region by some rulers, but the exact time period is controversial. Agharia's were migrated from the Mughal empire of Agra for establishing a cultivator community during the war when Kuiltas were assigned the duty of part-time Kshatriyas.<ref name="orrisa"> C Pasayat [https://www.cse.iitd.ac.in/~asahu/kuilta.pdf ''Political Economy of Medieval West Orissa As Reflected in Oral Tradition''] - cse.iitd.ac.in </ref>
