According to the 2020 Census, the city population was 1,354,350 inhabitants, while the official estimate as of mid-2024 was 1,429,629 - comprising 712,409 males and 717,120 females. The total area is 164.86 km2 (63.65 sq mi). It is the second-largest city in Banten (after Tangerang immediately to its north) in terms of population, and has grown rapidly, not only as Jakarta's satellite city, but also the development of business districts and commerce due to presence of large-scale planned town by private developers.
South Tangerang is home to some planned towns built by private developers, the notable ones are Alam Sutera (in North Serpong), BSD City (in Serpong and Setu), and Bintaro Jaya (in Pondok Aren and Ciputat), complete with facilities such as business centers, hospitals, shopping malls, and international schools such as British School Jakarta, Global Jaya School, German School Jakarta (Deutsche Schule Jakarta), and a Monash University campus in BSD, among other prominent private universities. In the same city, there is another major mixed‑use development called SouthCity, a 57‑hectare superblock in the Pondok Cabe area that includes residential neighbourhoods, commercial spaces, and planned lifestyle facilities, as well as a joint investment of over Rp 1 trillion to build a regional shopping mall within the superblock, reflecting its role in South Tangerang's evolving urban landscape. Currently, the average land price in South Tangerang is the most expensive among Jakarta's satellite cities.
