Acacia Gardens' population, as of November 2025, is approximately 3,714. This figure represents an increase of 46 people since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 3,668. The growth was inferred from ABS's estimated resident population of 3,714 in June 2024 and additional validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 3,909 persons per square kilometer, placing Acacia Gardens among the top 10% of locations assessed by AreaSearch, indicating high demand for land in the area. Overseas migration contributed approximately 57.4% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections are used, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Future population trends indicate an overall decline over this period, with Acacia Gardens' population expected to shrink by 104 persons by 2041 according to this methodology. However, growth is anticipated in specific age cohorts, notably the 85 and over age group, projected to expand by 141 people.

The level of residential development activity in Acacia Gardens is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Acacia Gardens has seen approximately six new homes approved annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY21 to FY25, around 30 homes were approved.

No approvals have been recorded so far in FY26. The population decline during this period suggests that new supply has likely kept pace with demand, providing good options for buyers. The average expected construction cost value of new dwellings is $1,050,000, indicating a focus on the premium market and high-end developments. Compared to Greater Sydney, Acacia Gardens has significantly lower building activity, 93.0% below the regional average per person. This limited supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established properties.

This trend is also seen nationally, reflecting market maturity and potential development constraints. Recent development has been exclusively detached dwellings, maintaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. The location has approximately 2226 people per dwelling approval, indicating an established market. With population expected to remain stable or decline, Acacia Gardens is likely to see reduced housing pressure, potentially creating opportunities for buyers.

In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 2.6% and labour force growth of 2.9%, with a rise in unemployment to 4.2%. State-level data from NSW as of Nov-25 shows employment contracted by 0.03% (losing 2,260 jobs), with the state unemployment rate at 3.9%, comparing favourably to the national unemployment rate of 4.3%. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 project national employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but with varying rates across industry sectors. Applying these projections to Acacia Gardens' employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, based on a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes only.
