The municipality of Lazarevac has a total population of 58,622 inhabitants, according to the 2011 census results.

Lazarevac is the home to the Serbian largest coal mining and smelting complex RB Kolubara.

In Baroševac on the bank of the Kolubara grow a grove of giant sequoia trees which were brought from California to be studied and planted in Europe. The trees had only reached a height of 30m as of 2011, and are continuing to be studied as they develop in this manufactured habitat.
