It is separated from the Los Angeles Basin by the San Gabriel Mountain Range to the south and from Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley by the Tehachapi Mountain Range to the north. The population of Lancaster has grown from 37,000 residents at the time of incorporation in 1977, to an estimated 145,074 residents in 2009, and is the second-largest city on the California side of the Mojave Desert.

With family income above the national average (average family income in Lancaster is $61,298), and housing prices below the state average (the median home price in Lancaster is $302,000), 70% of residents of Lancaster own their own homes.

Lancaster has also seen a large growth in business over the past decade, with the establishment of large distribution centers for national companies such as Rite Aid, Michaels and Sygma, as well as smaller local businesses and national restaurant chains. The City government has made local business a top priority, offering businesses low-priced land and a streamlined development process with less red tape.

The Lancaster Redevelopment Agency is a successful and active redevelopment and economic development program in California. It has made a commitment to attracting and retaining a prosperous business community through policies initiated by elected officials and carried out by its staff assisting the business community. The Redevelopment Agency has designated five areas as business and industrial parks in the City of Lancaster: Fox Field Industrial Corridor (adjacent to the General William J. Fox Airfield), North Lancaster Industrial Center, Lancaster Business Park, Enterprise Business Park and the North Valley Industrial Center. The Redevelopment Agency has also been involved in attracting retail and dining to Lancaster Town Center, Front Row Center, and other retail centers throughout the city.

Another focus of the Agency and the city has been the revitalization of Downtown Lancaster. With historic buildings interspersed with modern amenities such as a library and performing arts center downtown businesses formed the Lancaster Old Town Site (LOTS). LOTS has resulted in the renovation of business facades and attraction of new businesses including boutiques and restaurants in the Old Town Area.
