[1] At the 1931 census (the last before the abolition of the parish), Keysoe had a population of 432. [2]

The Keysoe International equestrian centre is based in Keysoe. The centre is a club and venue for horse sport events and training. The venue was used by equestrian teams training for the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Paralympics.
