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
Forestville - Killarney Heights has an estimated 13,599 residents, up from 13,161 at the 2021 Census — a change of 438 people, or 3.3%. That puts 1,523 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of Forestville - Killarney Heights is estimated at 13,599 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 438 individuals (3.3%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 13,161. This calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 13,533 recorded in June 2025 combined with 24 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 1,522 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure recorded across all assessed national areas. The local post-census expansion rate of 3.3% remains within 0.4 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (3.7%), indicating robust competitive momentum.
This demographic growth was almost entirely supported by inbound international migration, which served as the exclusive driver of expansion in recent times. Projections for each SA2 region are based on the ABS and Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024, utilising 2022 as the base reference period. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, equivalent forecasts published by the NSW State Government in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. Anticipated growth velocities by age segment from these sources are extended to span the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these incoming demographic trends, growth is expected to align with the lower quartile of areas monitored by AreaSearch, with the local population projected to increase by 451 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a net increase of 2.8% over the 16 years.

For the current period of FY-26, 29 approvals have been logged. With an average influx of 1.7 additional residents per constructed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand remains closely aligned with new supply to support stable market conditions, while the average expected construction cost for new properties is $449,000—a level exceeding typical regional averages that suggests an emphasis on high-quality builds.
Additionally, commercial development projects worth $10.9 million have been approved this fiscal year, showing moderate non-residential development activity. When compared to Greater Sydney, the per capita rate of new residential approvals in Forestville - Killarney Heights is roughly three-quarters of the metropolitan average, placing the locality in the 34th percentile of all national areas assessed and indicating restricted options for prospective purchasers, which helps sustain demand for established properties. This rate also sits below the wider national standard, highlighting the mature nature of the suburb and pointing to possible zoning or planning constraints. Low-density detached houses comprise 95.0% of new residential starts compared to just 5.0% for semi-detached or attached dwellings, sustaining a suburban landscape that appeals to buyers seeking space. The presence of 492 people per residential approval indicates a mature and established housing market. Long-term forecasts suggest the population of Forestville - Killarney Heights will expand by 385 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. In light of ongoing building trends, the volume of incoming housing is positioned to satisfy local demand, maintaining balanced conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces current predictions.

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 11,379, about 84% 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 Forestville - Killarney Heights is characterized by high levels of education, with robust representation in the technology industry, a low unemployment rate of 3.5%, and an estimated 0.5% expansion in employment over the preceding year. There were 6,907 employed residents registered in March 2026, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.7% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while the participation rate of 65.6% falls slightly below the metropolitan benchmark of 69.1%. Census records show that 56.5% of working residents operated from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of pandemic containment policies.
Resident employment is heavily weighted toward professional & technical roles, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The professional & technical category is particularly prominent, showing a concentration 1.4 times greater than the metropolitan standard. In contrast, the transport, postal & warehousing sector represents a minor share at 2.8% compared to the regional benchmark of 5.3%. A comparison between the count of local workers and the total employed resident base indicates that this primarily residential locality offers few local job opportunities. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS data, local employment expanded by 0.5% during the 12-month period, while the total labour force grew by 1.4%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.8 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, and a slight reduction in unemployment. National employment forecasts from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context regarding future demand trends within Forestville - Killarney Heights. These five and ten-year national projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to calculate potential growth. While national jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion varies widely by sector. Projecting these industry-specific rates onto the local workforce mix suggests employment growth of 7.2% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, representing a simple weighted model 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 — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,161 at the 2021 Census → 13,599 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 (122031427). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
