The population, wealth and activity in St Day declined steadily from about 1870 onwards, today the population is smaller than in 1841. It is now essentially a residential village. The Wheal Gorland mine is the type locality for the minerals: clinoclase, cornwallite and liroconite. A St Day mine site has been used for short-oval stock car racing for many years.
