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 Mount Annan stands at approximately 19,593 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 553 residents (2.9%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 19,040 citizens. This shifting figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 19,565 along with 162 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1,484 persons per square kilometer, a level exceeding the average of nationwide locations analysed by AreaSearch. The upward population trajectory was mostly driven by natural increase, which made up around 56.8% of the total demographic growth in recent times.
Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch for each SA2. For SA2 territories where this dataset is unavailable, the 2022 projections from the NSW State Government based on 2021 data are used. Age-specific growth dynamics from these sources are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts point to growth in the bottom quartile of national statistical regions, with expectations that the area will gain 450 residents by 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP statistics, representing a long-term growth rate of 2.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
122 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Annan over the past five years, an average of 24 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 20, broadly in line with 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
Annual residential building approvals in Mount Annan average approximately 24 dwellings, with 122 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 19 registered during FY-26 so far. The average of 3 new occupants per year for every home over those 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) points to robust demand that is likely to bolster local property prices. The typical construction cost of these new properties sits at $238,000, which is below the average for the broader region and indicates a supply of relatively low-priced options for home buyers.
Meanwhile, commercial construction approvals reached $1.2 million during this financial year, showing very quiet commercial building activity. Compared with Greater Sydney, the rate of development in Mount Annan is highly subdued, sitting at 72.0% below the per-capita regional average. This restricted pipeline of new properties generally helps maintain demand and support prices for established residential options. This volume of building is also low relative to national benchmarks, which suggests a mature local market and potential planning or space constraints. Looking at recent approvals, stand-alone houses represent 70.0% of the volume while townhouses or apartments make up the remaining 30.0%, offering a wider spectrum of price categories from traditional family residences to smaller, cost-effective options. This trend is a major departure from the existing housing stock (which is 97.0% houses), driven by a scarcity of vacant land and evolving homebuyer preferences and budgetary limits. With a ratio of 1019 people for each new home approved, Mount Annan displays the traits of a highly mature property market. Projecting forward, Mount Annan is forecast to expand by 422 citizens by 2041, based on the newest quarterly figures from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction suggests that incoming supply will comfortably satisfy demand, which creates favorable purchasing conditions and could support growth rates above current forecasts.

12,979 residents of Mount Annan are employed, from a labour force of 13,254. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 85.7%. 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 14,447, about 74% 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
Mount Annan possesses a highly trained labor force with solid representation in essential services, an unemployment rate sitting at only 2.1%, and an estimated 7.6% rise in total employment over the last year. In March 2026, there are 12,979 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate of 2.1% is below the Greater Sydney figure of 4.1%. Labor force participation is exceptionally high, reaching 85.7% compared with the 69.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that a notable 32.9% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The construction sector shows a particularly high concentration locally, with its share of employment reaching 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, making up only 5.0% of the workforce compared to the wider regional level of 11.5%. Local job opportunities appear relatively scarce when comparing the number of active workers in the area against the resident workforce population at the Census. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, employment rose by 7.6% while the total labor force grew by 7.8%, which led to a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decrease. National employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context for future labor demand in Mount Annan. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment paths. While total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ significantly by sector. Applying these industry-level projections to the local employment structure suggests that employment for Mount Annan residents will grow by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not integrate 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 — 162 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (19,040 at the 2021 Census → 19,593 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.
