The population of Juhapura is largely Muslim. Many Muslim professionals and businessmen also live in this area.

Juhapura was a small suburb with a small population until the mid-1980s, but after the communal riots of Gujarat from 1985 until 2002, many Muslims migrated from the Muslim and Hindu-dominated areas of Ahmedabad and the surrounding cities to Juhapura, causing a construction boom. Land and housing prices subsequently increased.

Juhapura is primarily residential but now also hosts a hospital, many schools, restaurants and dhabas and a food market. 5 lakh is population
