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
Based on AreaSearch's evaluation, the population of Hill Top - Colo Vale is approximately 6,611 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 218 residents (3.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 6,393 individuals. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,602 combined with 239 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population size results in a density of 37 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious residential environment. The area's 3.4% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (2.6%) and the wider SA4 region, establishing it as a local growth frontrunner.
Natural increase was the primary contributor to this growth, accounting for roughly 81.7% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 unit, published in 2024 with 2022 chosen 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 substituted. Age bracket growth trends from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, the district is projected to experience substantial population gains that place it in the top quartile of regional areas nationwide, with an expected increase of 1,843 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, representing a overall rise of 27.7% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
95 new dwellings have been approved in Hill Top - Colo Vale over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 2.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, running ahead of 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
On average, Hill Top - Colo Vale has seen 19 new dwelling approvals annually, totaling 95 home approvals during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 28 during the current FY-26 period. Historically, each new dwelling has accommodated an average of 2.4 new residents over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating steady demand that underpins local property markets, with new residential projects averaging a construction cost of $301,000. Commercial building approvals stand at $550,000 for the current financial year, pointing to a heavily residential development profile.
Compared against the Rest of NSW, building activity in Hill Top - Colo Vale is highly subdued, tracking 55.0% below the regional average per capita. This constrained supply pipeline typically bolsters demand and supports the valuation of established housing stock. This rate also sits below the national average, reflecting the mature layout of the area and indicating possible zoning constraints. Residential construction is heavily dominated by freestanding houses at 93.0%, with medium and high-density formats comprising just 7.0%, preserving a low-density suburban atmosphere popular with families. The ratio of 494 people in the area per building approval highlights the quiet, slow-paced nature of local construction. Long-term projections indicate that Hill Top - Colo Vale will add 1,834 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of new housing may fail to match population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and driving upward pressure on property prices.

3,492 residents of Hill Top - Colo Vale are employed, from a labour force of 3,560. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 67.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,135, about 78% 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 local workforce displays a balanced mix of professional and trade occupations, with construction workers particularly well-represented, an unemployment rate of only 1.9%, and steady jobs data over the prior year. In March 2026, there were 3,492 residents employed, and the unemployment rate was 2.2% lower than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while workforce participation reached an elevated 67.1% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census records indicate a moderate 18.5% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of public health restrictions. Local employment is heavily concentrated within the fields of construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
Construction represents a major specialization for the area, with its employment share reaching 1.5 times the regional standard. In contrast, health care & social assistance is underrepresented, accounting for 12.1% of local jobs compared to the regional benchmark of 16.9%. The ratio of Census workers to resident workers suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited within the immediate area. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS figures, the period ending March 2026 saw employment climb by 0.3% and the labour force grow by 1.3%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 1.0 percentage points. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% decline in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Insights regarding future job demand in Hill Top - Colo Vale may be found in Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts released in May-25. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with the area's current employment structure to gauge likely expansion trends. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% within five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies considerably across different sectors. When these sectoral growth rates are applied to Hill Top - Colo Vale's existing employment composition, local employment is expected to grow by 5.9% over five years and by 12.4% over ten years (note that this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration and does not incorporate localized population forecasts).

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 — 239 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,393 at the 2021 Census → 6,611 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.
