At the 2011 census it had a population of 3,745; the combined population of Beccles and Worlingham is 13,868. The parish has increased in population in recent years due to the development of suburban housing areas within the built up area, going up by over 13% between the 2001 and 2011 censuses.
Worlingham is around 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Lowestoft and 17 miles (27 km) south-east of the major city of Norwich in Norfolk The parish is bordered to the north by the River Waveney and northern sections form part of The Broads National Park area. The Ipswich to Lowestoft railway line passes through this area, with the nearest railway station at Beccles.
Other than Beccles, the parish borders the parishes of North Cove, Mutford, Ellough and Weston. To the north the parish of Aldeby lies across the River Waveney in Norfolk. The A146 Beccles bypass, built during the 1980s, passes through the parish whilst the A145 Beccles southern relief road runs along the parish's eastern and southern borders. Parts of the Beccles Airfield site along the A145 are located within the parish; these are used for a variety of industrial uses, including the printing works of William Clowes which relocated from Beccles in the early 21st century.
