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 population of Denham Court - Bardia stands at approximately 21,441 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 6,573 people (44.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 14,868 people. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 21,375 along with 404 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 1,375 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio found across national areas analyzed by AreaSearch. With this 44.2% expansion since the 2021 census, the locality outpaced the state (7.1%) and Greater Sydney, establishing it as a leading growth zone.
The expansion was chiefly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 58.1% of the total population rise, though other contributors such as natural increase and overseas migration also made positive additions. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 locality, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied. Demographic age bracket growth rates derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic outlooks point to population expansion exceeding the national median, with expectations that the locality will add 4,204 residents by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP statistics, indicating a total rise of 19.3% over the 16 years.

11,724 residents of Denham Court - Bardia are employed, from a labour force of 12,013. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 76.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 16,227, about 76% 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 is characterized by high levels of education and strong representation in professional fields, featuring an unemployment rate of only 2.4% and an estimated annual job growth rate of 7.4%. As of March 2026, there are 11,724 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.7% below the Greater Sydney mark of 4.1%, and labor force participation reaching a high 76.2% compared to the Greater Sydney average of 69.1%. Census data indicates that 41.6% of working residents operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical services. The suburb displays a strong concentration in health care & social assistance, employing workers at a rate of 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for a smaller share at 8.6%, compared to the regional benchmark of 11.5%. Given the comparison between the local working population and resident population from Census data, the area remains largely residential with fewer jobs situated locally. Based on SALM and ABS figures analysed by AreaSearch, the 12-month timeframe saw a 7.4% rise in employment alongside a 7.8% increase in the labor force, which led to a 0.4 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decline. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Denham Court - Bardia. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local employment sectors to estimate future patterns. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries vary. Applying these projections to the employment profile of Denham Court - Bardia suggests local job counts could rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, representing a simple weighted model for demonstration purposes that excludes 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 — 404 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,868 at the 2021 Census → 21,441 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (123021703). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
