Hockley has a population of 13,919, making it the 7th largest place in City and Borough of Birmingham. The World Gazetteer published 13,919 for Hockley in 2005 and the current source still carries that same figure, so there is no measured change to report rather than no change having happened.

Council tax

The area Band D council tax for Birmingham, the billing authority covering Hockley, is £2,363 for 2026–27.

From MHCLG's council tax statistics (Table 9): the area average including police, fire and parish precepts, so it is the council's figure rather than the town's, and your own band depends on your property's 1991 valuation.
