Lang Lang lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

As of Nov 2025, the estimated population of Lang Lang is around 2,762, reflecting an increase of 206 people since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 2,556. This growth represents an 8.1% increase and is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 2,732 following examination of ABS ERP data released in June 2024, along with 34 validated new addresses since the Census date. The population density ratio is approximately 29 persons per square kilometer. Lang Lang's growth rate exceeded that of non-metro areas (6.0%) since the 2021 census. Interstate migration contributed about 77.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, with all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration being positive factors. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections released in 2023 for areas not covered by this data.

For the period 2032 to 2041, Lang Lang is predicted to have exceptional growth, placing it in the top 10 percent of Australia's non-metropolitan areas with an expected increase of 1,856 persons by 2041, reflecting a gain of 77.8% over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential approval activity sees Lang Lang among the top 30% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Lang Lang had approximately 9 new homes approved annually. From FY-21 to FY-25, around 48 homes were approved, with another 7 in FY-26 so far. Each dwelling built attracted an average of 17.1 people per year over the past five financial years.

This high demand outpaces supply, potentially driving up prices and increasing competition among buyers. The average construction cost for new properties is $383,000, aligning with regional patterns.

In FY-26, commercial approvals totalled $2,000, indicating a primarily residential focus. Recent building activity consists solely of detached dwellings, maintaining Lang Lang's low-density character and attracting space-seeking buyers. With around 207 people per approval, Lang Lang reflects an area with growing population. By 2041, AreaSearch forecasts indicate Lang Lang will gain approximately 2,149 residents. If current development rates persist, housing supply may struggle to keep pace with population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting price increases.
