The Langleys are in step with the rest of Metro Vancouver, with lots of growth over the five years between the 2006 and 2011 censuses.

The latest numbers from the Canadian census were released Wednesday, and show that Langley Township has 104,177 residents, up from 93,726 counted in 2006. That’s an 11.6 per cent jump in the number of people calling the Township home.

Langley City increased in size by 6.2 per cent, from 23,606 residents to 25,081. That reversed a trend seen in the last census in which the number of City residents fell slightly.

Together, the two Langleys had a population, last year, of just under 130,000 people.

Langley Township is growing faster than the average for both the province and the region.

The average rate of population increase across Metro Vancouver is 9.3 per cent, while in B.C. it’s seven per cent.
