In recent years, Saltan City has seen noticeable population growth, rising from around 4,000 residents in 2010 to over 6,000 in 2024. The demographic composition is diverse, with the Hispanic population making up about 82%, while non-Hispanic whites constitute around 13%. Other racial groups, such as African Americans and Native Americans, represent smaller segments of the population.

Additionally, around 46% of residents live below the poverty line. Educational levels are similarly low, with about 89% of those aged 25 and over having completed high school, but only about 3% holding a bachelor’s degree or higher.
