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 11,390 residents, up from 11,241 at the 2021 Census — a change of 149 people, or 1.3%. That puts 1,828 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Harrington Park stands at approximately 11,390 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 149 residents (1.3%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 11,241 individuals. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 11,387 for June 2025 alongside 2 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level yields a density of 1,828 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical density found in other evaluated national areas. Throughout the previous ten years, Harrington Park has shown stable expansion with a 1.3% compound annual growth rate, which is higher than the state average.
The population increase in the locality was mostly driven by net overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 54.8% of total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements the projections from the ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level are used instead, which were published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline. The growth rates by age bracket derived from these datasets are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead at demographic changes, the region is projected to experience a population rise slightly below the median of all statistical areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Specifically, the population is projected to grow by 589 persons by 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP figures, representing a total rise of 5.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
66 new dwellings have been approved in Harrington Park over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 1.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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
Approximately 13 building approvals for residential units have been granted annually in Harrington Park, yielding 66 homes in total during the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 6 approvals documented. Based on a ratio of 1.3 new residents per year per constructed dwelling over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the local market appears well-balanced in terms of supply and demand, ensuring stable conditions. The average construction value of these new dwellings is $404,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $50,000 have been logged during this financial year, highlighting the mostly residential profile of the locality.
Harrington Park exhibits limited development activity when contrasted with Greater Sydney, tracking 74.0% below the regional per capita average. This restricted rate of new building typically helps sustain demand and prices for established housing. The volume of building is similarly below the nationwide average, reflecting the mature nature of the suburb and pointing to possible zoning restrictions. Furthermore, all recent construction has consisted of detached houses, which preserves the traditional low-density residential feel of the area and attracts families seeking space. With a ratio of roughly 2476 residents for every dwelling approval, Harrington Park operates as a highly established market. Long-term forecasts indicate that Harrington Park will gain 586 residents by 2041, based on the newest quarterly data from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction matches these growth projections, though prospective buyers might encounter increased competition as the population expands.

7,614 residents of Harrington Park are employed, from a labour force of 7,741. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 85.2%. 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 8,221, 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
The workforce in Harrington Park is highly skilled, with construction workers representing a notable portion of the labor pool. The area has an unemployment rate of only 1.6%, and estimated employment grew by 7.5% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 7,614 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 2.5% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Labor force participation is also exceptionally high, registering at 85.2% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census records indicate that 37.2% of local workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The suburb displays a strong employment concentration in construction, with its share of workers reaching 1.5 times the regional proportion. Conversely, the professional & technical services sector employs only 6.0% of local workers, which is below the 11.5% average for Greater Sydney. Given the difference between the count of local workers in the Census and the resident labor force, this mainly residential suburb offers few local jobs. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 7.5% while the labor force expanded by 7.8%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment and a 1.9% rise in the labor force, alongside a minor decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends for Harrington Park. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto Harrington Park's workforce mix indicates that local employment will grow by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a simple weighted projection that does not factor in local population changes.

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,241 at the 2021 Census → 11,390 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 (123011700). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
