Ulipuram is a predominantly agricultural community with major crops including rice, nuts, sugarcane, and corn.

Residences are centralized around the area's surrounding farms, subdividing Ulipuram into groups and localities including Eecha Oodai, kulimeduthottam near Raja Hariprasath sir's house, Annaikattu, Vembarasu, Ulipuram Pudur, Mettutheru, KalanKaradu, Thonthi Pillayar Kovil, Andi Kuttai, NariKaradu, Nallathangal Kuttai, Nandukitan Pudur, Mankaradu, VisamoongilKuttai, KuttiKaradu, and Bonthupuli Kadu.

Historically, Ulipuram receives ample rainfall which helps its agricultural activity. However, since 1996 there's been a reduced rainfall and farming has been severely affected. Hence, some farmers began seeking livelihood in other sectors of the economy.
