Kings Langley

Kings Langley is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

The population of Kings Langley, as estimated based on analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) updates and validated by AreaSearch, is around 9,687 as of November 2025. This figure represents an increase of 333 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 9,354. The estimated resident population of 9,648, derived from AreaSearch's examination of the latest Education and Workforce Release (ERP) data by ABS in June 2024, along with an additional 15 validated new addresses since the Census date, contributes to this increase. This results in a population density ratio of 2,639 persons per square kilometer, placing Kings Langley in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The suburb's population growth rate of 3.6% since the census is within 0.5 percentage points of the SA3 area's growth rate of 4.1%. Overseas migration contributed approximately 71.0% of overall population gains in recent periods, driving primary growth for the area.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections for areas not covered by this data, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Considering these projections, the suburb is expected to increase by 409 persons to 2041, reflecting a gain of 3.3% over the 17-year period.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Kings Langley according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Kings Langley has experienced around 33 dwellings receiving development approval each year over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated 167 homes approved between FY-21 and FY-25. So far in FY-26, 12 approvals have been recorded. The average number of people moving to the area per dwelling built over this period is 0.4 persons per year.

New supply has kept pace with or exceeded demand, offering ample buyer choice and creating capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts. The average construction cost value of new homes is $402,000, below the regional average, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers. In FY-26, $1.1 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Greater Sydney, Kings Langley has around two-thirds the rate of new dwelling approvals per person. Nationally, it places among the 54th percentile of areas assessed for this metric.

This activity is under the national average, suggesting the area's established nature and potential planning limitations. New building activity shows 74.0% detached houses and 26.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the area's traditional suburban character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. This marks a significant departure from existing housing patterns, which are currently 94.0% houses, suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. Kings Langley shows characteristics of a low density area, with around 290 people per dwelling approval. Population forecasts indicate Kings Langley will gain 322 residents through to 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
