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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Horsley - Kembla Grange stands at approximately 14,906 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,751 people (22.6%) from the 12,155 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 14,757 combined with 1,422 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The resulting population density is 336 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density with substantial capacity for future development. The growth rate of 22.6% since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA3 region (4.7%) and the Rest of NSW, positioning the locality as a primary growth center.
This expansion was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 74.1% of the population increase, though other factors like natural increase and overseas migration also registered positive gains. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are applied to each SA2 region. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, figures are derived from the 2022 NSW State Government projections which use a 2021 baseline. Age-specific growth trends from these sources are projected forward to the years 2032 through 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, the district is set for rapid expansion that ranks in the highest 10 percent of regional non-metropolitan locations, with projections indicating an increase of 10,520 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, which is a 69.5% rise over the 16 years.

8,123 residents of Horsley - Kembla Grange are employed, from a labour force of 8,352. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 73.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 11,603, 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 in Horsley - Kembla Grange is highly skilled, with strong representation in critical service fields, an unemployment rate of only 2.7%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.3% over the prior year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 8,123, while the unemployment rate is 1.4% below the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW. Furthermore, the participation rate of 73.2% is considerably higher than the Regional NSW average of 60.6%. Census data indicates that 26.5% of workers operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The region exhibits a notable concentration in the finance & insurance sector, where the employment share is 2.4 times the regional average. Conversely, the agriculture, forestry & fishing industry is minor, employing just 0.2% of the local workforce compared to 5.3% in Regional NSW. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests a limited volume of local jobs within the area itself. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the count of employed residents rose by 2.3% and the total labor force grew by 2.6%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Conversely, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and its labor force decrease by 0.4%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context for future demand trends in Horsley - Kembla Grange. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these sectoral projections to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a simple weighted model that does not incorporate local 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 — 1,422 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,155 at the 2021 Census → 14,906 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.
