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.

Penshurst has an estimated 10,157 residents, up from 9,528 at the 2021 Census — a change of 629 people, or 6.6%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 87.2% of that increase. That puts 6,082 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to analysis by AreaSearch, the resident count in Penshurst stands at approximately 10,157 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 629 people (6.6%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered 9,528 people. Such movement is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 10,142 alongside 19 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. With 6,082 persons per square kilometer, the resulting density places the suburb in the top 10% among national locations examined by AreaSearch, underscoring intense demand for local real estate. The 6.6% post-census uptick trails the statewide expansion of 7.3% by only 0.7 percentage points, highlighting sound growth momentum.
Inward overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 87.2% of recent net demographic additions. SA2 projections published jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to a 2022 base year) are incorporated into AreaSearch modeling, while unrepresented SA2 zones draw from NSW State Government SA2 forecasts released in 2022 (using 2021 as a base year). These grouped age-cohort trajectories are extended across all localities through 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, demographic expansion is anticipated to track marginally below the national SA2 median, with Penshurst projected to add 412 persons to 2041 according to current annual ERP benchmarks, equating to a cumulative rise of 3.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
71 new dwellings have been approved in Penshurst over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 1.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Council approvals in Penshurst have averaged roughly 14 new homes annually, amounting to 71 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. With an inflow of 5.4 new residents per year for each residential unit constructed between FY-22 and FY-26 across the past 5 financial years, structural demand substantially outpaces building completions, generally fostering upward pricing pressure and heightened buyer competition amid an average residential construction value of $456,000. Additionally, $85,000 in commercial approvals has been registered during this financial year, underlining the district's overwhelmingly domestic profile. Residential building volume in Penshurst sits substantially below the broader metropolitan pace, trailing the regional per-capita benchmark by 62.0%.
Such subdued construction typically sustains pricing and demand for established dwellings. Pipeline activity similarly lags the Australian average, reflecting the mature urban fabric and possible zoning constraints. Recent residential building permits comprise 64.0% detached dwellings and 36.0% townhouses or apartments, delivering medium-density variety across distinct price segments ranging from traditional detached homes to lower-cost attached properties. This building mix leans more heavily toward detached structures than the existing stock (26.0% at Census), underscoring persistent buyer appetite for standalone residences despite densification trends. The suburb registers around 616 people per dwelling approval, representative of a fully developed market. Projections indicate Penshurst will absorb 397 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update. Ongoing construction activity aligns well with expected structural demand, fostering stable market dynamics without intense price volatility.

The project aims to establish a unique 'Eastern Bookend' for the Hurstville City Centre.
6,410 residents of Penshurst are employed, from a labour force of 6,607. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 75.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,529, 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
The local workforce is notably well-credentialed, featuring prominent representation across professional services, a low jobless rate of 3.0%, and a 3.2% rise in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 6,410 residents are employed, while local unemployment sits 1.1% lower than the Greater Sydney mark of 4.1%, accompanied by an elevated labour force participation rate of 75.5% versus 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census records showed 38.0% of local workers operated from home, a metric potentially shaped by Covid-19 restrictions. Residents are predominantly employed across health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical fields.
Penshurst displays distinct specialization in health care & social assistance, capturing an employment proportion 1.2 times the wider metropolitan baseline. Conversely, construction represents a comparatively smaller share at 5.8% compared to 8.6% across the region. Comparisons between the resident workforce and the count of local jobs recorded at Census point to a residential enclave with relatively few employment opportunities within its own borders. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that employment grew by 3.2% during the 12-month period, while the labour force expanded by 3.5%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labour force growth of 1.9%, with unemployment falling slightly. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional insight into potential future demand in Penshurst. These projections, which cover five and ten-year periods, have been overlaid on the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. Although national employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary considerably across industry sectors. Applying these sector-specific projections to Penshurst's employment mix suggests local employment should rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, though this represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised 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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,528 at the 2021 Census → 10,157 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.
