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

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the Kings Langley statistical area's population is estimated at around 9,852 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 498 people (5.3%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 9,354 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 9,556 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 15 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,684 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Kings Langley's 5.3% growth since census positions it within 1.8 percentage points of the SA3 area (7.1%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 71.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Considering the projected demographic shifts, lower quartile growth of statistical areas across the nation is anticipated, with the Kings Langley (SA2) expected to increase by 415 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 1.6% in total over the 17 years.

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 30 dwellings receiving development approval each year over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated 152 homes between FY-21 and FY-25. So far in FY-26, 16 approvals have been recorded. With an average of only 0.4 people moving to the area per dwelling built over these years, new supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, offering ample buyer choice and creating capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts.

New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost value of $402,000. Additionally, $10.6 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, indicating moderate levels of commercial development. When compared to Greater Sydney, Kings Langley has around half the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and ranks among the 53rd percentile nationally, 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 focused on family homes appealing to those seeking space. This marks a significant shift from existing housing patterns, currently at 94.0% houses, potentially indicating diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs.

With around 304 people per dwelling approval, Kings Langley exhibits characteristics of a low density area. Population forecasts indicate Kings Langley will gain 163 residents through to 2041. With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
