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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Gymea - Grays Point stands at approximately 18,955 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 799 residents (4.4%) from the 18,156 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 18,888 alongside 99 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Consequently, the population density reaches 3,268 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of all Australian areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The post-census growth of 4.4% in Gymea - Grays Point is within 0.6 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (5.0%), indicating healthy local demand.
This expansion was primarily supported by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 62.4% of the total population increase over recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories where these figures are unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied instead. The age-specific growth rates derived from these sources are projected forward to the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest the local population will grow at a rate slightly below the national median, gaining 1,080 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, which translates to a total growth of 5.3% over the 16 years.

10,823 residents of Gymea - Grays Point are employed, from a labour force of 11,057. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 72.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,079, about 80% 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
Gymea - Grays Point is characterized by a highly educated labor force with a strong professional services sector, a low unemployment rate of 2.1%, and stable employment patterns over the past year. By March 2026, there are 10,823 working residents, with local unemployment sitting 2.0% lower than the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation is standard at 72.3% compared to the metropolitan average of 69.1%. Census records show a substantial 45.6% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment fields for residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and professional & technical services. The area features a high concentration in construction jobs, which employ residents at 1.5 times the regional average rate. Conversely, health care & social assistance is under-represented, accounting for only 12.8% of the local workforce compared to 14.1% across Greater Sydney. The highly residential nature of the community means local employment opportunities are limited, as shown by the comparison of Census local workers to resident workers. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the labor force expanded by 0.4% during the year ending March 2026, while overall employment contracted by 0.0%, causing the local unemployment rate to rise by 0.4 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney saw employment and labor force metrics both grow by 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decrease in unemployment. Future local employment demands can be interpreted through national employment forecasts from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate employment growth. Although the nationwide workforce is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local industry mix suggests Gymea - Grays Point's employment will rise by 6.8% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, noting that this is a simple weighted projection that does not factor in local population adjustments.

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 — 99 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (18,156 at the 2021 Census → 18,955 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.
