The population of Juhapura is largely Muslim. Almost 700,000 people live in this area. A large number of 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, a large number of the Muslims migrated to Juhapura from the Muslim and Hindu-dominated areas of Ahmedabad and surround cities to settle there. This caused a construction and housing boom and a sharp inflation in the land and housing prices subsequently.
Juhapura is still primarily a residential area but now also hosts a hospital, many schools, restaurants & dhabas and a food market
