In 2001, the town of Kerkdriel had 6195 inhabitants. The built-up area of the town was 1.5 km², and contained 2329 residences.[1] The statistical area "Kerkdriel", which also can include the peripheral parts of the village, as well as the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 6940.[2]
Due to its positioning between two rivers (Meuse and waal_(river)), a strong local linguistic accent developed during the post second-world-war period. Those who speak the "Driels" accent may be identified via the test phrase "Kees de Beer" (proper: Keas d'n Bear).
