The 2001 Census recorded the town as having a permanent resident population of 9702 distributed between 4185 households. It increased to a population of 10482 in 4481 households by the 2011 Census. The first turnpike road in England is reputed to have been created here at the end of the 17th century. The 1920s saw continuing growth as a market centre, held on a Thursday, the stalls spread along the pavements of Church Street and in an open area by the Angel Hotel opposite the Griffin Inn. It was the turkey sales which made the town a thriving market centre in the 1930s, and thousands have been sold every year on Michaelmas Day. Local employment still primarily revolved around the Gaymer's cider works, established in the late 19th century. Much of the town's improvement occurred in the 1960s. The overspill programme and new town improvement brought new households into south Norfolk. Attleborough had to make decisions for the future and new development zones were designated. The initial estate programme began with the building of the council-owned Cyprus Estate which has since been added to by other private housing schemes, such as Fairfields and Ollands built mainly during the 1970s and a large estate on the south side of the town during 1990s.
