With a population of just 51 residents spread across approximately 258 square kilometres, it is one of the most sparsely settled localities in the state.

Whitlow falls under the Northern Tablelands state electorate and the federal electorate of Parkes.
Life in Whitlow revolves around farming and the close-knit routines of remote rural Australia. There are no local shops or public facilities in the locality itself; residents travel to nearby towns such as Inverell or Moree for everyday services, schools, and medical care. The surrounding countryside offers a quiet, wide-open lifestyle with big skies and a strong agricultural community spirit. Those who call Whitlow home are typically farming families who value self-sufficiency and the pace of remote country living.
