It is only temporalily inhabited by a bird warden from March to October. The refuge hut at the northeastern end is called Jens Wand Hütte, which is built on stilts as a protection against flooding. A former terp had been washed away. Norderoog was last permanently inhabited by a family until 1825, when their house was washed away by a flood. It has been the site of several ecological studies.
Norderoog belongs to the municipality of Hooge.
