The parish is located in the central south of the island chain, immediately south of Hamilton Harbor on the main island. It is joined to Warwick Parish in the southwest, and Devonshire Parish in the northeast. As with most of Bermuda's parishes, it covers just over 2.3 square miles (about 6.0 km2 or 1500 acres). It had a population of 5,899 in 2016.[1]
As of 2016[update] it has 130 students and has Bermuda's sole primary deaf and hearing impaired student programme.[3] In 2016 the Bermudian government proposed closing the school. Members of the PTA suggested the school could reduce costs by using parents to carry out maintenance.[4] Grant Gibbons, the former Bermudian Minister for Education, expressed support to keep Gilbert open.[5]
Natural features in Paget include Hamilton Harbor, Coral Beach, Elbow Beach, and Grape Bay, as well as Salt Kettle, a peninsula which protects the approach to Hamilton Harbour, and Hinson's Island, which though geographically closer to Warwick Parish, is part of Paget. The island's only hospital, King Edward VII Memorial, is in Paget.
