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.

Relative to the 20,220 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 1,004 people (5.0%).

During the preceding ten years, the community exhibited steady momentum via a 1.2% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the broader SA3 area.
Net overseas migration was the primary engine of local expansion, accounting for roughly 90.2% of total population additions over recent timeframes. Projections utilised by AreaSearch originate from ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modelling published in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year), supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2022 (using 2021 as the base year). Age-specific expansion rates derived from these datasets are applied across all locations for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to track slightly under the median of benchmarks evaluated by AreaSearch. Based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, Peakhurst - Lugarno is expected to expand by 2,237 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 9.8% across the 16 years.

12,119 residents of Peakhurst - Lugarno are employed, from a labour force of 12,507. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 71.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 18,065, about 85% 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
Peakhurst - Lugarno features a skilled local workforce with considerable representation across professional services, an unemployment rate of just 3.1%, and 3.4% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 12,119. The local jobless figure sits 1.0% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, while the participation rate is standard at 71.5% compared to Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records indicated that 48.9% of local workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Key sectors employing local residents include health care & social assistance, education & training, along with professional & technical.
Nevertheless, health care & social assistance remains relatively under-indexed, engaging 12.7% of Peakhurst - Lugarno's workforce versus 14.1% in Greater Sydney. Given the comparison between Census working population and resident population tallies, this predominantly residential community generates comparatively few employment positions within its own boundaries. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the twelve months to March 2026, both employment and the overall labour force rose by 3.4%, which held the unemployment rate stable. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% increase in employment and a 1.9% rise in the labour pool, alongside a slight reduction in joblessness. Further insight into prospective workforce demand stems from Jobs and Skills Australia national projections released in Mar-26. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied to local industry concentrations to estimate future trajectory. Across the nation, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with divergence across individual sectors. Aligning these sectoral trends to Peakhurst - Lugarno indicates local employment could rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (noting this is an illustrative weighted projection that excludes local population adjustments).

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 — 237 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (20,220 at the 2021 Census → 21,224 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 Aug 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.
