Each barangay may be further divided into puroks, with some also containing sitios. Lagangilang belongs to Abra's lone congressional district and is governed through the standard Philippine local-government structure: an elected mayor serves as chief executive, while an elected vice mayor and municipal council exercise legislative and oversight functions. Local elections are held on a three-year cycle. According to the 2024 census, Lagangilang had a population of 14,577, with a reported density of approximately 140 inhabitants per square kilometre.

Farming, livestock raising, and food-security activity are important local functions, with rice, corn, and root vegetables among the agricultural products identified for the municipality. Lagangilang has also been associated with a multiplier-farm project hosted at the University of Abra, reflecting efforts to support agricultural productivity and local food systems. Education is administered through the Lagangilang Schools District Office, which oversees public and private educational institutions from primary through secondary levels. The municipality also hosts the main campus of the University of Abra, formerly known as the Abra State Institute of Sciences and Technology. Secondary institutions identified in available reference material include Cayapa National High School and Tagodtod National High School.

Rice, corn, and root vegetables are among the crops associated with the municipality. A multiplier-farm project hosted at the University of Abra indicates an institutional effort to improve agricultural production and disseminate farming practices. These activities place the municipality within Abra's broader agricultural economy rather than within a commercial branded-goods sector. Education is another important civic function. The Lagangilang Schools District Office coordinates the operation and management of primary and secondary educational institutions in the municipality, including both public and private schools. The University of Abra main campus is located in Lagangilang; the institution was formerly known as the Abra State Institute of Sciences and Technology.
