The Office for National Statistics deems Ewloe to form part of the Buckley built-up area, which covers much of Deeside.

[2] Ewloe grew rapidly during the late 1990s and early 2000s and is now the home of the internet based Moneysupermarket.com and construction company Redrow.

Flintshire County Council has one of its main offices at Ty Dewy Sant on St David's Park, a building which had previously been occupied by Unilever and before them by the former Alyn and Deeside District Council.

Increasing numbers of new property and the resulted increase to population in Ewloe led to the opening of a new Co-op supermarket on the St David's Park road, with Ewloe now boasting two Co-op stores around 835 metres apart.

[4] A chain super pub was built in St Davids Park, which then opened in September 2010, but was damaged in an arson attack early morning on 6 February 2011.
