This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Acacia Gardens has an estimated 3,735 residents, up from 3,668 at the 2021 Census — a change of 67 people, or 1.8%. That puts 3,932 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Acacia Gardens stands at approximately 3,735 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 67 residents (1.8%) from the 3,668 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 3,735, alongside 17 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With this population level, the density reaches 3,931 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top 10% of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch, pointing to high demand for local land.
The primary driver of this population growth has been overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 62.9% of the total demographic gains in recent times. AreaSearch employs population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as the base year. Where such data is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year, are applied. Growth rates across different age cohorts from these sources are also used for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, these projections point to a contraction in the overall population, with the cohort expected to decrease by 81 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is projected in particular age groups, most notably among those aged 85 and over, which is expected to rise by 138 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
30 new dwellings have been approved in Acacia Gardens over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Acacia Gardens averages approximately 6 new residential approvals annually, with 30 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 3 recorded so far in FY-26. Because the population has decreased recently, this new supply has likely matched local demand to give buyers adequate options, with new homes constructed at an average value of $228,000—below the wider regional standard—showing more affordable housing options for home buyers. Acacia Gardens exhibits significantly reduced residential construction activity when contrasted with Greater Sydney, sitting 93.0% below the regional average per capita.
This constrained supply pipeline typically underpins demand and supports valuations for existing homes. This rate is also lower than the national figure, suggesting a mature local market and potential limitations on new development. Furthermore, all recent construction has consisted of standalone houses, reinforcing the suburban character of the area and its concentration of family properties for buyers wanting space. The suburb features roughly 2239 people per residential approval, highlighting the established nature of this property market. Given that the population is projected to stabilize or contract, Acacia Gardens is likely to experience less pressure on its housing supply, which may present favorable conditions for prospective buyers.

2,481 residents of Acacia Gardens are employed, from a labour force of 2,521. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 83.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,626, about 70% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local workforce in Acacia Gardens is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent of professionals, an unemployment rate of only 1.6%, and estimated job growth of 1.3% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,481, with the unemployment rate sitting 2.5% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and labor participation reaching an elevated 83.4% compared to the regional rate of 69.1%. Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents, 48.1%, worked from home, although this may reflect the influence of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical.
The suburb displays a notable specialization in public administration & safety, where its employment share is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are less common, accounting for 8.9% of local employment compared to 11.5% across the region. Comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that this highly residential suburb offers limited local employment opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, employment expanded by 1.3% while the labor force also grew by 1.3%, maintaining a stable rate of unemployment. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decrease. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends in Acacia Gardens. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Extrapolating these industry-specific projections to the employment composition of Acacia Gardens suggests local employment will rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, representing a simple weighted calculation for illustration that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 17 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,668 at the 2021 Census → 3,735 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
