Elkerzee is not a statistical entity,{{cite web |url=https://www.cbs.nl/-/media/_excel/2021/48/kwb-2021.xls |title=Kerncijfers wijken en buurten 2021 |website=Central Bureau of Statistics |access-date=21 April 2022 |quote=not found}} and the postal authorities have placed it under Scharendijke.{{cite web|url=https://postcodebijadres.nl/4322 |title=Postcode 4322 in Scharendijke |website=Postcode bij adres |access-date=21 April 2022 |language=nl}} It has its own place name signs. It was home to 489 people in 1840. Nowadays it consists of about 10 houses. A church was built in 1741, but was demolished in 1958, because a new church had been built in neighbouring Scharendijke.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/elkerzee |title=Elkerzee |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=21 April 2022 |language=nl}}

The grist mill De Lelie was built in 1868 and decommissioned in 1960. In 2008, it was bought and turned into a restaurant specialising in pan cakes. The flour for the pancakes is ground by the wind mill.

Elkerzee was a separate municipality until 1961, when it was merged into Middenschouwen.Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlands gemeenten", KNAW, 2006. {{cite web|url=http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr%3D20061061 |title=KNAW > Publicaties > Detailpagina |accessdate=2009-12-03 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070220041404/http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr=20061061 |archivedate=2007-02-20 }}
