Thanks to its location being a suburb, Bojong Gede is a rather urbanized district, which also makes it densely populated. Like its other neighbouring districts, it is one of the districts in the regency, that lies in between the city of Depok, and Bogor, both also part of Jakarta Raya. This attracts a rather large residential population for the people who would commute to the cities.
This district is served by Bojong Gede railway station and Citayam railway station (located in Depok, near Pabuaran).
