According to the 2001 census it had a population of 378.This increased to 457 at the 2011 census.

Boyton is in the Launceston Registration District. The manor of Boyton was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was one of several manors held by Hamelin from Robert, Count of Mortain. There was half a hide of land and land for 4 ploughs. There were 2 ploughs, 3 serfs, 2 villeins, 3 smallholders, 5 acres of woodland, 60 acres of pasture, 6 cattle and 30 sheep.
