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.

Detail
According to evaluations by AreaSearch, the resident count across Asquith - Mount Colah reaches approximately 23,590 as of Aug 2026. Compared against the 22,057 people tallied in the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 1,533 people (7.0%). These estimates draw upon the ABS estimated resident population of 23,527 recorded as of June 2025 together with 281 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. Demographic density stands at 680 persons per square kilometer, affording substantial personal room and scope for future expansion. Outperforming both the SA3 area (4.6%) and the wider SA4 region, Asquith - Mount Colah's 7.0% growth since the 2021 census establishes it as a regional frontrunner in demographic expansion.
While all components including interstate migration and natural growth yielded positive additions, the influx was predominantly underpinned by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 60.0% of total demographic gains throughout recent periods. Projections utilized by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia figures released in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year for SA2 locations. Wherever SA2 districts lack coverage under this dataset, NSW State Government projections released in 2022 with 2021 as the baseline are applied instead. Age-specific expansion rates derived from these models are further extended across all territories for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. In line with broader demographic trajectories, the locality is anticipated to experience growth outpacing the national median for statistical regions, adding 2,880 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which translates to a cumulative expansion of 11.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
327 new dwellings have been approved in Asquith - Mount Colah over the past five years, an average of 65 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 65 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 52% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the past 5 financial years, residential approvals within Asquith - Mount Colah have accumulated to 327 homes, representing an annual pace of roughly 65 new dwellings. With an intake averaging 5 new residents per year per completed home across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local demand heavily exceeds new building volume, a disparity that generally heightens buyer competition and drives prices upward. Construction costs for new residential builds mirror broader regional trends, averaging $447,000. Furthermore, robust local business activity is evidenced by $36.3 million in commercial building approvals lodged during this financial year.
Per-capita construction volume in Asquith - Mount Colah closely parallels Greater Sydney, reinforcing broader market stability even as recent building momentum has moderated. Activity sits below the nationwide benchmark, indicating a mature market alongside potential site constraints. Among newly approved dwellings, standalone houses account for 52.0% while medium and high-density housing comprises 48.0%, introducing a broader spectrum of medium-density stock that spans conventional family properties to budget-conscious, compact residences. This marks a notable structural transition from the prevailing stock of 74.0% houses, responding to evolving affordability needs, shifting lifestyle preferences, and constrained land availability. A subdued construction climate is further highlighted by an estimated ratio of 533 people for each approved dwelling. Demographic projections based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate suggest Asquith - Mount Colah is set to add 2,817 residents leading up to 2041. Should building volumes persist at existing paces, residential supply could fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying competition among prospective purchasers and exerting upward pressure on property values.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 19,619, about 83% 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 labour pool in Asquith - Mount Colah is distinguished by high educational attainment, with technology industry professionals showing prominent representation, alongside an unemployment rate standing at 5.6% and estimated employment growth of 2.8% over the past year. Employed residents numbered 12,695 as of March 2026, with local unemployment sitting 1.5% above Greater Sydney's 4.1% mark, while labour force participation roughly matches Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census returns indicated that 48.9% of working locals operated from home, though this figure warrants contextual consideration of Covid-19 restrictions. Primary fields of employment for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, professional & technical roles, and education & training.
The district demonstrates a pronounced concentration in education & training, capturing an employment share 1.3 times higher than the broader region. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing generates modest engagement at 3.4%, trailing the regional proportion of 5.3%. A comparison between the Census working population and resident workforce totals suggests that local job generation remains relatively constrained. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that across the 12-month timeframe, resident employment expanded by 2.8% while the labour force grew by 1.4%, producing a 1.3 percentage points reduction in the jobless rate. Over the same stretch, Greater Sydney registered 1.9% employment growth and a 1.9% labour force increase, alongside a slight drop in unemployment. Looking ahead, national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia from Mar-26 provide perspective on emerging labour demand across Asquith - Mount Colah. When these five and ten-year sectoral outlooks are weighted against local industry representation, distinct expansion trajectories emerge. Nationally, total employment is modeled to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with wide variation across industries. Calibrating these sector forecasts to Asquith - Mount Colah's workforce composition projects local employment gains of 7.2% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (note that this serves as an illustrative weighted extrapolation rather than a local demographic forecast).

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 — 281 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (22,057 at the 2021 Census → 23,590 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 Aug 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (121021403). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
