The parish is in the district of Breckland and has an area of 21.9 square kilometres (8.5 square miles). Attleborough is within the Mid-Norfolk constituency of the UK Parliament.

The 2001 Census recorded the town as having a permanent resident population of 9702 distributed amongst 4185 households. It increased to a population of 10482 in 4481 households in the 2011 Census. The first turnpike road in England is rumoured to have been developed here at the end of the 17th century. The 1920s saw continuing development 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 during the 1930s, and thousands were 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 development occurred during the 1960s. The overspill programme and new town improvement brought new households into south Norfolk. Attleborough had to make choices for the future and new improvement zones were designated. The initial estate programme began with the development of the council-owned Cyprus Estate which has since been added to by different private housing schemes, including Fairfields and Ollands built mostly during the 1970s as well as a substantial estate on the south side of the town during 1990s.
