The municipality has a population of 83,907 inhabitants, according to the 2011 census results. Thanks to the immigration and the natural increase of all of the city's municipalities, Grocka has been for decades one of the fast-growing areas of Belgrade, with an average annual growth of 1.2% in the 2000s. The population boomed in the last 30 years, increasing the number of inhabitants (1971-2011 by 2.38 times; in 1971-81 the population grew by 4.5% annually). As in other similar areas surrounding Belgrade, the rapid population growth has not followed by the equal development of infrastructure (roads, waterworks, sewage system, and waste disposal).
