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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the population of Forestville - Killarney Heights stands at approximately 13,599 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 13,161 people counted in the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 438 people, or an expansion of 3.3%. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,533 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 23 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The local population density reaches 1,522 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national average across regions assessed by AreaSearch.
With post-census growth of 3.3%, the locality tracked closely behind the broader SA3 area (3.7%), trailing by only 0.4 percentage points and reflecting solid demographic drivers. Net overseas migration served as the primary and virtually exclusive catalyst for local population expansion in recent times. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as a base, with NSW State Government SA2 modeling from 2022 (benchmarked to 2021) applied where coverage is absent. Projected growth trajectories across specific age brackets from these models are incorporated across all territories for the 2032 to 2041 period. Given these projected demographic patterns, population increases are projected within the bottom quartile of national statistical areas, as local numbers are slated to rise by 466 persons through to 2041 based on recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 2.9% across the 16 years.

6,907 residents of Forestville - Killarney Heights are employed, from a labour force of 7,154. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 65.1%. 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 strong tertiary educational attainment and elevated participation in the technology sector, accompanied by a low unemployment rate of 3.5% and annual employment expansion of 0.5%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,907, with local joblessness tracking 0.7% lower than the Greater Sydney figure of 4.1%, while overall labour force participation lagged typical levels at 65.1% compared to 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census records showed that 56.5% of workers carried out their duties from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions.
Residents are predominantly employed across professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training industries. The professional & technical sector is notably prominent locally, employing residents at 1.4 times the broader regional rate. Conversely, the transport, postal & warehousing sector accounts for merely 2.8% of the local workforce, trailing the Greater Sydney benchmark of 5.3%. A comparison between resident worker counts and local Census workplace counts highlights that this primarily residential community generates comparatively few jobs within its own borders. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that from the year ending March 2026, employment grew by 0.5% while the labour force expanded by 1.4%, which led to a 0.8 percentage point increase in unemployment. In comparison, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% rise in employment and a 1.9% growth in the labour force, accompanied by a slight decline in unemployment. The national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia for Mar-26 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Forestville - Killarney Heights. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to project growth trends. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these figures vary considerably across different industries. When applied to the employment composition of Forestville - Killarney Heights, these sectoral forecasts imply a local employment increase of 7.2% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, though this represents a basic weighting exercise for illustration and does not incorporate localized population projections.

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 — 23 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 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 (122031427). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
