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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident population of Granville - Clyde stands at approximately 25,314 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,064 people (8.9%) compared to the 23,250 people recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 25,304 alongside 246 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Consequently, the local density stands at 4,512 persons per square kilometer, placing the area within the highest 10% of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch and highlighting the strong demand for local land.
The 8.9% population expansion since the 2021 census outpaced the state average of 7.1% as well as the broader SA3 region, positioning the locality as a regional leader in population growth. This growth was largely fueled by arrivals from overseas, which accounted for roughly 72.8% of the total population increase over recent timeframes. AreaSearch is employing ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts for each SA2 region, data published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. When SA2 areas fall outside this dataset, AreaSearch applies the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Age group growth rates derived from these combined sources are extended across all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. In assessing upcoming demographic patterns, a substantial population rise is projected for the highest quartile of Australian statistical areas, with the region anticipated to add 6,805 individuals by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP population figures, representing a total growth of 26.8% across the 16 year span.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
346 new dwellings have been approved in Granville - Clyde over the past five years, an average of 69 a year. That places the area in the 85th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 58 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 40% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 67, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Granville - Clyde has seen an average of approximately 69 residential building approvals per annum, representing a total of 346 new dwellings over the last 5 financial years. During the current FY-26 period, 62 building approvals have been logged. With an average of 5 new residents moving to the locality for every completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the demand for housing remains far ahead of new completions, a trend that typically drives upward pressure on prices and intensifies buyer rivalry while new homes are constructed at an average cost of $363,000.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $43.6 million have been registered during this financial year, demonstrating solid development activity in the commercial sector. In comparison to the broader Greater Sydney region, building volume in Granville - Clyde is notably subdued, tracking at 59.0% below the metropolitan per capita average. This limited supply of new dwellings generally bolsters the value of pre-existing homes, even though construction activity has shown signs of accelerating in recent years. This level of activity also falls below the national average, reflecting a mature market environment that may be subject to development constraints. Of the new housing starts, 40.0% are standalone houses, while 60.0% consist of townhouses or multi-dwelling units. This emphasis on higher-density construction offers more accessible price points for buyers and caters to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. The ratio of approximately 493 people per new dwelling approval indicates a highly developed real estate market. Looking forward, the population of Granville - Clyde is projected to increase by 6,795 residents up to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of new housing may fail to keep pace with this population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and driving up residential prices.

12,420 residents of Granville - Clyde are employed, from a labour force of 13,418. Unemployment sits at 7.4%, with participation at 63.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 21,998, about 87% 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 workforce in Granville - Clyde is highly educated and spans multiple sectors, with an unemployment rate of 7.4% and an estimated employment growth of 3.4% over the previous year. As of March 2026, 12,420 residents are employed, while the local unemployment rate stands at 3.3% above the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, indicating potential for enhancement. Workforce participation remains notably lower at 63.7% relative to Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Census data reveals that 27.7% of residents worked from home, though the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account when interpreting this figure.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food services. The local labor market is highly concentrated in health care & social assistance, showing a employment share that is 1.2 times greater than the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented locally, accounting for 7.2% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 11.5%. Comparing the number of local jobs filled during the Census against the size of the resident workforce suggests this is a predominantly residential suburb with relatively few local employment opportunities. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, the number of employed residents rose by 3.4% while the overall labor force expanded by 3.2%, leading to a decrease of 0.2 percentage points in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded an employment increase of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, resulting in a very minor decline. Future labor demand in Granville - Clyde can be analyzed through the national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth trends. Nationally, total employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, although performance varies widely by sector. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local employment distribution suggests that employment for Granville - Clyde residents could grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for specific 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 — 246 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (23,250 at the 2021 Census → 25,314 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.
