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 by AreaSearch, the population of Peakhurst - Lugarno is estimated at 21,216 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 996 people (4.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 20,220 people. This change is calculated using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 21,068 combined with 237 validated new addresses identified since the Census. The resulting population density stands at 2,840 persons per square kilometer, placing the region in the top quartile of all Australian locations analyzed. Over the past ten years, Peakhurst - Lugarno has achieved steady growth with a compound annual growth rate of 1.2%, which is higher than the broader SA3 region.
The expansion of the local population was mostly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 90.2% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which use 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions missing from that dataset, AreaSearch uses the 2022 projections from the NSW State Government, based on 2021. Age cohort growth rates derived from these sources are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, population growth is projected to be slightly below the median of all areas assessed by AreaSearch. Based on the latest annual ERP statistics, the area is projected to expand by 2,260 persons by 2041, representing a total increase of 9.9% over the 16 years.

However, the health care & social assistance sector has a smaller footprint here, accounting for 12.7% of employment compared to 14.1% across the region. Due to its largely residential character, local employment opportunities appear limited, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident population.

By comparison, employment in Greater Sydney rose by 1.9%, its labor force grew by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand trends in Peakhurst - Lugarno. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been matched to the local employment structure to project growth. While overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly by industry. Applying these sectoral projections to the employment profile of Peakhurst - Lugarno yields a projected local employment increase of 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population projections).

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,220 at the 2021 Census → 21,216 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.
