The population of Fatehpur Jattan is around 800, and the main profession of people is agriculture only. The literacy rate is not very high, and very few people are in government jobs. The population mainly consists of Sikhs and Muslims, with couple of Hindu families.
Most of the villagers are God-fearing religious people, as supported by various worship places in the village. There is popular Baba Barote Wala where people of all religions go for fulfilling their wishes. An annual assembly followed by Qawali takes place every year in June. Next to this is a recently built Gurudwara. On the south of village is a Kutia of a popular Sant Bhola Singh ji, on western end is Baba Morh wala, and on Eastern side is Babe Shaheed. A plan for mosque construction is also being considered.
