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 by AreaSearch, the population of Kurrajong Heights - Ebenezer stands at approximately 22,515 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 354 individuals (1.6%) relative to the 22,161 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 22,515 from June 2025 alongside 50 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 67 persons per square kilometer, which indicates substantial space per resident and opportunity for additional expansion. The area's 1.6% growth rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (1.2%), positioning it as a local growth leader.
Natural increase was the primary contributor to this growth, accounting for roughly 64.5% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 locations lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth trends derived from these sources are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts indicate that population growth will track slightly under the median for national statistical areas, with a projected gain of 1,989 residents by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, translating to an overall growth rate of 8.8% across the 16 years.

Detail
In Kurrajong Heights - Ebenezer, development approvals have averaged approximately 46 dwellings annually, culminating in 233 residential approvals over the preceding 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25) and 31 during the current FY-26 period. Given that only 0.6 people migrated to the region for each new home constructed over the past 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), local housing supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, which increases options for buyers and offers capacity for population gains ahead of forecasts, while new residential builds carry an average value of $585,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium tier of the market.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $6.1 million so far this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area. Development volume per capita in Kurrajong Heights - Ebenezer aligns closely with Greater Sydney averages, preserving a balanced market in step with adjacent localities. However, this level of activity sits below the national average, suggesting a mature property market and potential planning barriers. Residential construction is dominated by standalone homes at 92.0%, with townhouses or apartments making up the remaining 8.0%, preserving the historically low-density environment and focusing on spacious properties suitable for families. The ratio of 537 people in the locality for each approved dwelling reflects a tranquil, low-intensity development landscape. Looking ahead, Kurrajong Heights - Ebenezer is projected to add 1,989 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current levels of construction appear well-aligned with future requirements, supporting stable market trends without putting intense pressure on pricing.

12,707 residents of Kurrajong Heights - Ebenezer are employed, from a labour force of 13,301. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 72.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 18,168, about 81% 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 Kurrajong Heights - Ebenezer is highly skilled, featuring strong representation in the construction sector, an unemployment rate of 4.5%, and consistent employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, there were 12,707 employed residents, with an unemployment rate sitting 0.3% higher than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, and labour force participation tracking at a relatively typical rate (72.5% versus 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents, 31.5%, performed their jobs from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The construction sector stands out particularly, with local employment concentration reaching 2.2 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented at 5.1% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. The relationship between the Census working population and resident population suggests that local job opportunities within the area are somewhat restricted. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the labour force shrank by 0.2% and total employment fell by 0.4% during the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. This trend diverges from Greater Sydney, which registered a 1.9% increase in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labour force, and a slight decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future employment demand in Kurrajong Heights - Ebenezer. These five and ten-year forecasts have been correlated with local employment structures to project potential trends. Although national employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly by sector. Weighting these national sectoral projections against the local workforce profile suggests that employment within Kurrajong Heights - Ebenezer would rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.6% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted calculation for illustration and 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 — 50 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (22,161 at the 2021 Census → 22,515 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 (115031300). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
