Statistical Area - sa2

Granville - Clyde lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Granville - Clyde's population is around 24,929 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 1,679 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 23,250 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 24,966 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 260 validated new addresses since the Census date.

Granville - Clyde's growth rate of 7.2% since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (6.5%) and the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration, contributing approximately 69.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. By 2041, Granville - Clyde is forecasted to have a population increase of 7,356 persons, reflecting an overall increase of 29.7% over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Granville - Clyde among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Granville - Clyde has seen approximately 69 new homes approved annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, around 346 homes were approved, with an additional 27 approved so far in FY-26. On average, about 4.5 new residents per year have arrived for each dwelling constructed during this period.

This significant demand outpaces supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies competition among buyers. New dwellings are developed at an average cost of $363,000. In FY-26, commercial development approvals totaled $43.6 million, indicating high levels of local commercial activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Granville - Clyde has shown reduced construction rates, with 59.0% fewer new dwellings per person than the regional average. This scarcity tends to strengthen demand and prices for existing properties. However, building activity has accelerated in recent years.

Nationally, this region also reflects lower development activity, suggesting possible constraints. New building activity comprises approximately 40.0% detached houses and 60.0% medium and high-density housing. This trend towards denser development offers accessible entry options for downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. With around 482 people per dwelling approval, Granville - Clyde indicates a developed market. Projections suggest Granville - Clyde will grow by approximately 7,393 residents by 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to keep pace with population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.
