The parish of Carnforth had a population of 5,350 recorded in the 2001 census, as well as forms part of the City of Lancaster. The 2011 Census gauged a population of 5,560.

The River Keer, the West Coast Main Line (WCML), the A6 and also the Lancaster Canal pass through the town. The M6 motorway passes simply to the east, linked to Carnforth by the A601(M).
