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 Pymble stands at roughly 18,094 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 873 residents (5.1%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 17,221 people. Such growth is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 18,052 as of June 2025 alongside 136 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. With 1,765 persons per square kilometer, the locality exhibits a demographic density exceeding typical figures across locations evaluated nationally by AreaSearch. Outperforming the broader SA3 area (4.5%), Pymble's 5.1% expansion since the 2021 census positions it as a regional growth frontrunner.
Net overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 88.0% of recent demographic expansion. Projections for each SA2 district applied by AreaSearch originate from ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting point. Where SA2 coverage is absent, figures draw upon NSW State Government SA2 projections issued in 2022 based on 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort-specific age expansion rates are extrapolated across all locations. Anticipated demographic trajectories place the district within the lower quartile of growth among areas assessed by AreaSearch, with forecasts pointing to an increment of 429 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP data, translating to a total rise of 2.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
270 new dwellings have been approved in Pymble over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 53 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 83% 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 planning approvals in Pymble have run at roughly 54 dwellings per year, accumulating to 270 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Balanced market conditions have been underpinned by an average intake of 1.9 new residents per built home over the prior 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26); however, a compression to 3.8 people per dwelling across the last 2 financial years highlights intensifying demand and shrinking stock availability. Development activity leans decidedly toward the prestige sector, with newly approved dwellings averaging an estimated construction value of $955,000.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $60.5 million this financial year, reflecting substantial commercial development activity. Per capita residential approvals in Pymble track at roughly two-thirds the rate of Greater Sydney, ranking the locality in the 41st percentile nationally, which restricts buyer choice and reinforces interest in existing dwellings. This below-average national standing mirrors the established character of the area alongside potential urban planning limitations. Free-standing houses constitute 83.0% of new residential development versus 17.0% for medium and high-density housing, preserving a low-density suburban fabric that appeals to space-oriented buyers. An approval ratio of around 390 people per approval further underlines this established property market. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection, Pymble is anticipated to gain 387 residents by 2041. Ongoing building volumes appear well-positioned to satisfy this level of housing demand, maintaining supportive terms for prospective purchasers while offering headroom for demographic growth beyond existing projections.

Turramurra Community Hub
The Turramurra Community Hub is a long-running Ku-ring-gai Council urban renewal proposal centred on the 12,300 square metre Ray Street precinct adjacent to Turramurra railway station. The CHROFI-designed masterplan envisages a new library and multi-purpose community building, a town square, parklands, a full-line supermarket, specialty retail, residential apartments and upgraded commuter parking. Council has confirmed it does not have the financial capacity to deliver the masterplan as a single project, with capital costs for the community facilities and public domain works estimated at around 120 million dollars.As a result the project is being progressed in stages, with initial discussions focused on a potential sale of part of the Council owned land to Coles Group to enable an expanded supermarket, specialty shops and housing on the Coles holding. Following a Council resolution in May 2024, staff are conducting a wider feasibility review of the Lindfield, Gordon and Turramurra Hub projects and have assessed the impact of the NSW Transport Oriented Development SEPP on the Hub sites. Subsequent stages delivering the library, community centre and parklands on Council land remain subject to future funding.

9,554 residents of Pymble are employed, from a labour force of 9,851. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 66.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 16,480, about 91% 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 labour pool is distinguished by high qualifications, a pronounced clustering in the tech industry, a jobless rate of merely 3.0%, and annual employment gains estimated at 1.6%. As of March 2026, working residents count 9,554, with the local unemployment figure sitting 1.1% lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, while local labour force engagement remains slightly subdued (66.7% versus 68.9% for Greater Sydney). Census returns revealed that 63.0% of local workers operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions must be acknowledged. Resident employment is concentrated within professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance industries.
Professional & technical activities display significant local concentration, commanding an employment share 1.6 times the broader metropolitan standard. In contrast, the construction sector accounts for merely 5.2% of local workers compared to 8.6% across Greater Sydney. Disparities between the Census working population and resident counts indicate a predominantly residential locality with relatively few employment roles situated within its own boundaries. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that across the 12-month period, a 1.6% rise in employment alongside a 1.4% expansion in the labour pool lowered the local jobless rate by 0.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% increase in both jobs and labour force, yielding a minor decrease. Forward-looking employment estimates published by Jobs and Skills Australia from Mar-26 provide context on potential future workforce trends in Pymble. These five- and ten-year models, when weighted against the local occupational profile, suggest local job numbers may grow by 7.6% over five years and 15.2% over ten years, compared to national baseline expectations of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this is a proportional extrapolation for illustrative contexts and excludes localized population models).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Pymble is $3,414 a week (about $178,000 a year), with median personal income at $1,188 a week.

Applying a 10.32% rise in the Wage Price Index since financial year 2023 adjusts estimated median and average incomes to roughly $79,495 and $135,423 as of March 2026. Data from the Census 2021 positions personal, family, and household earnings between the 90th and 99th percentiles across the nation. The local income profile is heavily weighted toward high earners, with 44.0% of residents (7,961 people) falling into the $4000+ bracket, contrasting with the regional metropolitan baseline where the $1,500 - 2,999 tier leads at 30.9%.

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 — 136 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (17,221 at the 2021 Census → 18,094 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.
