Houses, flats or Hotels),[6] because not a great amount of Boytons land area is covered by domestic buildings, it can be deducted that the Parish has a low population density (according to the office of National statistics, Boyton's population density in the year 2011 was measured at 0.2 persons per hectare [1]).

[8] Boyton's usage remained for that of agricultural and fishing purposes, and these honest trades kept the small Parish reasonably self-sufficient until the late 18th century.

Smuggling became a common occurrence to Boyton and the rest of the Suffolk coast, it was reported that local people who had previously remained within the honest agricultural trade "were recruited by the notorious Captain Bargood who had cottages at Hollesley and Butley".

[8] "During World War 2 the Boyton area was a tank range, and the remains of a military building are still visible today" [9] The 1970s and 1980s brought the production of a small number of detached properties in an attempt to regain a "community spirit[8]" despite the fact that the village shop and post office had now closed.

[10] This may have been an issue for the Parish of Boyton in the late 19th century due to the occurrence of the agricultural depression[12] (most probably linked to what is known as the long depression), with such a large proportion of Boyton's male population relying on agriculture, the "series of wet summers, culminating in the wettest season in living memory in 1879 meant an alarmingly low yield in successive harvests[12]".

35.3% of the residents are retired, with only 21% in full-time employment, with as many people working in Public administration and defence as in Agriculture, forestry and fishing.
