In the 2016 Census of Population, the Village of Lucky Lake recorded a population of 289 living in 134 of its 154 total private dwellings, a 0.7% change from its 2011 population of 287. With a land area of 0.66 km2 (0.25 sq mi), it had a population density of 437.9/km2 (1,134.1/sq mi) in 2016.[10]
Agriculture and agriculture services constitute the largest component of the town's economy. Typical crops grown in the area include durum wheat, spring wheat, peas, lentils, and canola. Flax, beans and mustard are also grown to a lesser extent. Nearby Lake Diefenbaker provides water for irrigation so that additional crops such as potatoes can be grown. Wild West Steelhead, is an aquaculture farm that raises Steelhead Trout in the lake. The company employs many people in its operations that comprise the steps of egg incubation to the production of finished fillets.[11]
In the past, the provincial government's efforts (via a partnership known as SPUDCO) to create a potato growing industry in the province led to local jobs being created to grow and package potatoes. SPUDCO eventually failed and the local potato growing industry has been slow to recover.
