Its population as of the 2010 Census was 1,832.
It was founded in 1936 as the administrative center for the then newly created Sakkyryrsky District. It lost this function with the dissolution of the district in 1963, but regained it with the creation of Eveno-Bytantaysky District in 1989.
Population: 1,832 (2010 Census);1,722 (2002 Census).
The population includes a large proportion of Evens, with the Even language taught in the local school.
Batagay-Alyta is served by the Sakkyryr Airport (IATA: SUK). There are no year-round roads connecting to Batagay-Alyta, although a winter road offers a route east to Verkhoyansk and Batagay when the rivers are frozen.
