There is one shop, three public houses, two housing estates, a hardware store and petrol station/shop which are located on the village's only street at the centre of the village. Social facilities include a church and heritage/community hall and a Gaelic Athletic Association club located at the centre of the village. The local primary school is also located in the village centre.

The population of the Duagh Electoral Division increased during the intercensal period 1996–2002. In 2002 the population was recorded as 469 persons (CSO). This equates to an increase of 4.5%. Preliminary figures for the 2006 census show this increase slowing to 3%.

Sport

The local Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club, Duagh GAA, owns a 5 acre playing field in the village. The club's first county championship came in 2002 when they won the Kerry Novice Football Championship. In 2006, Duagh won the Kerry Junior Football Championship, and went on to win the Munster Junior Club Football Championship. Duagh then reached the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship final, but lost by a single point to Greencastle of County Tyrone in Croke Park.

Duagh players who have formerly played with Kerry's senior county panel include Anthony Maher, Dan MacAuliffe and Kieran Quirke.
