Its population is 8155 (2020). Though it is one of the least populated Kadıköy neighborhoods, it is often quite crowded because of the sports facilities located there.{{cite web |date=2020 |title=Zühtüpaşa |url=https://anlat.kadikoy.bel.tr/mahalleler/zuhtupasa |website=Anlat Kadıköy |publisher=Kadıköy Belediyesi |access-date=30 January 2025}}

After the Ottoman Minister of Finance Ahmet Zühtü Paşa (later Minister of Education) settled in the Kızıltoprak neighborhood of Kadıköy in the 1880s and had a mosque and school built there, the area began to be called by his name.{{cite thesis |last=Ferah |first=Füsun Ece |date=2010 |title=Prenses Atiye Köşkü Restorasyon Projesi |trans-title=The Princess Atiye Mansion Restoration Project |url=https://polen.itu.edu.tr/items/452debff-1b2d-4e4f-b294-8b6a4c6c8c3f |page=7 |language=tr |degree=master's |location= İstanbul |publisher=İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi |access-date=30 January 2025}}{{cite encyclopedia |last=Karakaya |first=Ebru |date=2013 |title=Zühdü Paşa Camii ve Mektebi |language=tr |trans-title=Zühdü Paşa Mosque and School |url=https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/zuhdu-pasa-camii-ve-mektebi |encyclopedia=TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi |publisher=TDV İslâm Araştırmaları Merkezi |access-date=30 January 2025}}
