The settlement has experienced significant population growth and housing development in recent years, leading to ongoing debate regarding whether it remains a distinct town or has become a suburb of Kumasi. It currently ranks as the thirtieth most populous settlement in Ghana with a population of 60,919 people.
Tafo is positioned approximately 9.8 kilometers from the center of Kumasi and 4.6 kilometers from Tarkwa. It should be distinguished from a similarly named village called New Tafo, which is located roughly 3.3 kilometers away.
