It is situated about 80 km (50 mi) east of Armidale and about a third of the way between Armidale and the coast. At the 2006 census, Ebor and the surrounding area had a population of 160.[1] There is a post office and coffee shop, a hotel/motel and a primary school.
The surrounding district is a noted rich sheep and cattle grazing area.

The Dutton Trout Hatchery on Point Lookout Road was established in 1950 and is one of the largest hatcheries in the state.
