Marriamman Kovil makes up the village's center, named for the prominently worshiped goddess Thotiya Marriamman and established by the local Naicker community. Ulipuram is important to other major communities including Gounder, Boyer, and Kurumbar, which is historically known for sheep breeding.
Ulipuram is a predominantly agricultural community with major crops including rice, nuts, sugar cane, and corn.
Residences are centralized around the area's surrounding farms, subdividing Ulipuram into groups and localities including Annaikattu, Vembarasu, Ulipuram Pudur, Mettutheru, KalanKaradu, Thonthi Pillayar Kovil, Andi Kuttai, NariKaradu, Nallathangal Kuttai, Nandukitan Pudur, Mankaradu, VisamoongilKuttai, KuttiKaradu, and Bonthupuli Kadu.
Historically, significant rainfall in Ulipuram helped the community lead in agricultural production. However, after 1996 a decline in rainfall lead to intermittent droughts affecting cultivation. Locals have since sought alternative livelihoods outside of agriculture, with some settling into work driving heavy vehicles and operating bore wells.
