Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the village is roughly 6 miles (10 km) north-north west of Doncaster. At the time of the 2011 Census the village fell within the ward of Adwick le Street & Carcroft in the Doncaster MBC.
At the 2021 census, the combined population of Carcroft and its neighbour Skellow was 7,823. In 2023, the Get Doncaster Moving website published a document citing Skellow's population alone as 3,800 at the time.
