The land is mainly used for grazing on native vegetation with some crop growing, supporting a lifestyle centred on agriculture and open‑space living. At the 2021 census the locality recorded a population of 80 people.

There are no schools in Upper Pilton; the nearest government primary schools are Pilton State School to the north‑west and Freestone State School to the south, while secondary students travel to Clifton State High School in the west or Allora State School to the south‑west. The former Pilton Upper State School, once located on Pilton Valley Road, highlights the locality’s historic community hub. Pilton Valley Road provides the main road link to surrounding towns, supporting easy travel for daily needs and keeping residential properties spread across the grazing landscape.
