Since 2014, Vikebukt has not been considered to be an urban settlement by Statistics Norway, therefore separate population statistics have not been tracked since that time.[5] In 2015, the Tresfjord Bridge opened, crossing the fjord from Vestnes village to Vikebukt. The bridge carries the European route E136 highway over the fjord and through Vikebukt.

Vike Church is in Vikebukt.[6]
