editAt the time of the 2006 National Census, Zarabad's population was 914 in 180 households, when it was a village in Zarabad-e Sharqi Rural District of the former Zarabad District of Konarak County.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 3,222 people in 711 households,[6] by which time the village had been elevated to the status of a city upon merging with the village of Jahelu.[7] The 2016 census measured the population as 4,003 people in 876 households.[2]
After the census, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Zarabad County. The city and the rural district were transferred to the new Central District, with Zarabad as the county's capital.[3]
