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 resident count in Pemulwuy - Greystanes (North) stands at approximately 11,333 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 440 people (4.0%) compared to the 10,893 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is derived from ABS figures showing an estimated resident population of 11,324 as of June 2025 alongside 217 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, the local density reaches 1,531 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the benchmark across locations analyzed nationwide by AreaSearch. Inbound international arrivals served as the primary growth engine, generating around 86.3% of the locality's recent net population increases.
Population modeling by AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2-level forecasts published in 2024 (benchmarked to 2022), supplementing missing SA2 regions with NSW State Government projections released in 2022 (using 2021 as a base year). Projected age cohort growth trajectories from these series are extended across all locations for 2032 to 2041. Overall demographic patterns indicate the region will experience population expansion slightly under the national SA2 median, gaining an estimated 1,010 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which translates to a cumulative 16-year increase of 8.8%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
781 new dwellings have been approved in Pemulwuy - Greystanes (North) over the past five years, an average of 156 a year. That places the area in the 72nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 156 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 27% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building authorisations in Pemulwuy - Greystanes (North) have run at roughly 156 homes per year, accumulating to 781 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. With local net population intake averaging just 0.4 people per year for every newly built home over these past 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), additions to housing stock are matching or outpacing inbound migration, ensuring plentiful options for buyers and establishing headroom for future demographic expansion. Furthermore, building approvals reflect an average expected construction value of $385,000—a figure below the broader regional standard that points toward relatively affordable construction.
In non-residential sectors, commercial development approvals totaled $4.3 million in the current financial year, highlighting a comparatively subdued commercial building presence. Development volume per capita in Pemulwuy - Greystanes (North) exceeds that of Greater Sydney by 113.0%, which affords extensive options to purchasers even as the building pace has moderated lately. Such elevated building activity substantially outstrips nationwide norms, signaling robust builder appetite. Of the newly approved stock, 27.0% represents standalone houses while 73.0% consists of medium-to-high-density apartments or townhouses. This pivot toward higher-density building provides accessible pricing tiers that draw first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also represents a major shift away from the prevailing built environment (where houses make up 83.0%), reflecting both a tightening supply of greenfield land and shifting lifestyle and affordability requirements. With approximately 154 people per dwelling approval, the area retains overarching low-density demographic traits. Projections indicate that Pemulwuy - Greystanes (North) will add 1,001 residents by 2041, based on recent quarterly modeling from AreaSearch. At ongoing rates of homebuilding, incoming residential supply appears well-positioned to satisfy future housing demand, maintaining supportive market conditions for purchasers and enabling population intake to potentially outperform current baseline 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 — 217 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,893 at the 2021 Census → 11,333 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.
