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
Harrington Park has an estimated 11,393 residents, up from 11,241 at the 2021 Census — a change of 152 people, or 1.4%. That puts 1,829 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
AreaSearch’s findings indicate that the population of Harrington Park stands at approximately 11,393 as of Aug 2026. This figure marks a rise of 152 individuals, representing a 1.4% growth compared to the 2021 Census count of 11,241 people. The adjustment stems from the ABS estimated resident population of 11,387 as of June 2025, combined with two validated new addresses recorded after the Census date. This population size corresponds to a density of 1,828 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the national average observed by AreaSearch in comparable areas. Throughout the last ten years, Harrington Park has shown steady expansion with a compound annual growth rate of 1.3%, surpassing growth rates in the state.
The majority of population gains have been attributed to overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 54.8% of the increase in recent times. Projections for each SA2 region published jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as their starting baseline, have been adopted by AreaSearch. In instances where an SA2 locality lacks coverage from this release, SA2-level figures issued by the NSW State Government in 2022 (anchored to 2021) are applied. Age-cohort growth trends derived from these datasets are additionally utilised for all localities over the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, future population gains are projected to sit slightly underneath the national median for statistical regions, with the locality anticipated to add 582 persons to 2041 according to current annual ERP metrics, translating to overall 16-year expansion of 5.1%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
48 new dwellings have been approved in Harrington Park over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 0.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building authorisations in Harrington Park have tracked at an annual rate of roughly 9 new dwellings, accumulating to 48 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Across this 5-year timeframe spanning FY-22 to FY-26, incoming population averaged 1.8 people per year for every home constructed, reflecting well-aligned market conditions where residential supply matches intake. Over the latest 2 financial years, this metric shifted to 0.9 people per dwelling, pointing towards balanced availability. Newly approved residential construction exhibits an estimated average build cost of $637,000, moderately higher than broader regional averages and reflecting an emphasis on premium builds.
Concurrently, commercial approvals accounted for $50,000 this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential focus of the locality. When evaluated alongside Greater Sydney, dwelling creation across Harrington Park is considerably subdued, trailing the per-capita regional benchmark by 75.0%. Constrained residential construction of this nature generally acts to reinforce demand and bolster valuations for existing properties. Construction volumes also sit below national standards, denoting an established suburb potentially subject to planning limits. Detached dwellings constitute 89.0% of recent residential building activity, with townhouses or apartments making up the remaining 11.0%, thereby preserving a low-density suburban profile oriented towards family accommodation. With approximately 1521 people per approval, the suburb displays the hallmarks of an established locality. Demographic projections derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release estimate that Harrington Park will see an influx of 576 residents through to 2041. Should current construction tempos persist, dwelling development could lag behind incoming population requirements, heightening buyer competition and underpinning property value appreciation.

7,614 residents of Harrington Park are employed, from a labour force of 7,741. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 84.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,224, about 72% 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
Harrington Park boasts a highly capable labor pool, where the building industry stands out significantly, alongside an unemployment figure of only 1.6% and projected job growth of 7.5% during the previous twelve months. By March 2026, the number of employed residents stood at 7,614, with unemployment sitting at 2.5% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and workforce participation rates reached an impressive 84.9%, which surpasses the Greater Sydney benchmark of 68.9%. Survey data indicates that a substantial 37.2% of inhabitants engage in remote work, although this figure should be interpreted with caution due to lingering effects from Covid-19 lockdown measures.
Resident workers are primarily engaged within retail trade, construction, and health care & social assistance. Concentration within the construction domain is pronounced, registering 1.5 times the wider regional baseline. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively sparse, engaging 6.0% of local workers relative to 11.5% across Greater Sydney. Comparisons between the working-age resident base and local workplace numbers captured in the Census suggest that this residential locality offers modest on-site employment capacity. According to AreaSearch evaluations combining ABS and SALM figures, the past 12-month timeframe recorded 7.5% employment growth alongside a 7.8% expansion in the resident workforce pool, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point uptick in the unemployment measure. Across Greater Sydney over the identical interval, employment grew by 1.9%, the overall workforce broadened by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. National labor projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding forward industry hiring across Harrington Park. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied against the local sector profile. Although overall Australian employment is anticipated to lift by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trajectories fluctuate widely across sectors. Weighting these sectoral expectations across Harrington Park's occupational makeup projects local employment gains of 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (calculated via proportional extrapolation for scenario assessment without adjusting for localized demographic shifts).

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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,241 at the 2021 Census → 11,393 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (123011700). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
