Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Griffith (NSW)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Griffith (NSW) has an estimated 21,046 residents, up from 20,569 at the 2021 Census — a change of 477 people, or 2.3%. 1,074 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 374 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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Griffith stands at approximately 21,046 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 477 individuals (2.3%) from the 20,569 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 20,779 in June 2025 alongside 1,074 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. With this population level, the density ratio is calculated at 373 persons per square kilometer, indicating ample space per resident and opportunity for future expansion. The 2.3% rate of growth since the 2021 census placed Griffith ahead of the SA3 area (1.8%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a leader in regional growth.

The primary driver of this population expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 65.3% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch adopts the population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 unit, which were published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are applied. The growth rates by age bracket derived from these data sources are also projected forward for all locations from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts indicate that non-metropolitan regions of Australia will experience above-median population growth, with this specific location projected to grow by 2,883 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative increase of 12.4% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Griffith (NSW)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

698 new dwellings have been approved in Griffith (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 139 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 116 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 76% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 101, well below 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

Griffith averages approximately 139 residential development approvals annually, resulting in a total of 698 new dwellings over the last 5 financial years. During the current FY-26 period, 93 approvals have been logged. Because the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) saw an average increase of only 0.1 new residents per year for each built dwelling, supply is keeping pace with or running ahead of demand, expanding choices for purchasers and supporting population growth that could surpass initial forecasts, with new homes built at an average value of $308,000.

Furthermore, commercial approvals valued at $112.5 million have been documented in the current financial year, highlighting robust local business development. Relative to the Rest of NSW, Griffith generates 74.0% more development projects on a per capita basis, offering home buyers a wide selection of choices. New residential construction consists of 76.0% detached houses and 24.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining the low-density character of the area while catering to buyers seeking spacious detached homes. The low-density nature of Griffith is also shown by the ratio of approximately 132 people for every approval. Long-term forecasts indicate that Griffith will add 2,611 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of new housing is poised to easily satisfy demand, maintaining favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating growth beyond current 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 — 1,074 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,569 at the 2021 Census → 21,046 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 (113011256). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Griffith (NSW) SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Griffith (NSW) page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Griffith (NSW) data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
