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
Grafton has an estimated 19,978 residents, up from 19,255 at the 2021 Census — a change of 723 people, or 3.8%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 162 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 188 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 population residing in Grafton stands at roughly 19,978 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 19,255 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 723 people (3.8%). This net variation is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population figure of 19,905 as of June 2025 alongside 162 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With 188 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains a density profile that affords considerable personal space and capacity for additional building activity. Grafton's post-census increase of 3.8% trails the broader SA4 region (4.8%) by only 1.0 percentage points, highlighting sound underlying growth characteristics.
Gains across the area have been predominantly underpinned by interstate migration, which accounted for around 70.3% of recent demographic expansion. Projections compiled by the ABS/Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, are utilized by AreaSearch across individual SA2 boundaries. Where SA2 locations are omitted from that series, AreaSearch applies NSW State Government SA2 figures released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Age-specific growth trajectories from these collections are likewise mapped across all localities between the years 2032 to 2041. Looking toward long-term demographic patterns, expansion is anticipated to track slightly under the regional Australian median, with Grafton projected to add 1,888 persons to 2041 under current annual ERP metrics, representing an overall expansion of 9.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
281 new dwellings have been approved in Grafton over the past five years, an average of 56 a year. That places the area in the 57th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 56 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% 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
Residential building approvals in Grafton have averaged roughly 56 dwellings per annum, totaling 281 homes sanctioned across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over these past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 1.9 people per year arrived per completed residence, demonstrating an equilibrium between construction and demographic demand that fosters steady conditions. Furthermore, approved dwellings carry an average construction price of $359,000, which sits below regional benchmarks to provide purchasers with relatively economical property options. Non-residential activity has also shown notable strength, generating $76.9 million in commercial development approvals during this financial year.
Relative to Rest of NSW, building activity across Grafton is markedly subdued, tracking 52.0% below regional average per person. This controlled level of incoming supply serves to underpin buyer interest and asset values across established housing stock. Development rates are similarly lower than the national benchmark, reflecting the mature character of the urban footprint and potential constraints within the planning framework. Recent building approvals comprise 70.0% detached dwellings alongside 30.0% townhouses or apartments, delivering a broader selection of medium-density stock that caters to diverse budgets, ranging from expansive detached properties to entry-level dwellings. Overall density remains modest, with approximately 311 people per dwelling approval across the catchment. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Grafton is anticipated to expand by 1,815 residents by 2041. Although local construction activity continues to track demographic forecasts at a steady pace, incoming population growth may heighten competition among prospective property buyers over time.

7,471 residents of Grafton are employed, from a labour force of 8,040. Unemployment sits at 7.1%, with participation at 49.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 market in Grafton demonstrates a balanced division between professional and manual roles, supported by strong representation across essential services, an unemployment rate of 7.1%, and annual employment growth estimated at 2.1%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,471, whereas unemployment exceeded Regional NSW's 4.1% by 3.0%, and workforce participation recorded a noticeable deficit (49.8% compared to Regional NSW's 60.6%). Census figures indicate that a modest 8.0% of the workforce operated from home, though this metric should be viewed in the context of pandemic restrictions. The primary sectors supporting local employment are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety.
A distinct concentration exists in public administration & safety, which commands an employment share of 1.6 times the regional level. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for a smaller footprint locally at 2.7% employment versus 5.3% regionally. Comparing local workplace destinations against the resident worker count indicates that substantial numbers of workers travel outside the immediate vicinity for their jobs. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM records indicates that over the 12-month period, jobs grew by 2.1% while the workforce rose by 0.1%, driving a 1.8 percentage points reduction in joblessness. By comparison, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% drop in jobs, a 0.4% contraction in the labour pool, and a 0.5 percentage points rise in unemployment. Long-term labour requirements can be evaluated using national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26, which have been aligned with Grafton's industry profile over five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, overall employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Applying these specific industry trajectories to the local workforce suggests Grafton employment could rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (note that this weighting model serves illustrative purposes and excludes bespoke local population estimates).

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 — 162 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (19,255 at the 2021 Census → 19,978 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.
