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
Demographic analysis by AreaSearch estimates the population of Quakers Hill at approximately 26,197 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 24,670 people, this represents an addition of 1,527 people (6.2%). This figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 26,132 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 199 validated new addresses added following the Census. The suburb exhibits a population density of 3,371 persons per square kilometer, ranking within the upper quartile among nationwide areas assessed by AreaSearch. With post-census expansion of 6.2%, Quakers Hill sits within 1.1 percentage points of the state benchmark (7.3%), reflecting solid growth fundamentals.
Net overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 65.6% of recent net demographic additions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year), supplemented by NSW State Government SA2-level modeling published in 2022 (using 2021 as the base year) for areas outside the primary dataset. Age-specific growth rates drawn from these sources are further applied across all territories for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to track slightly below the national median across statistical areas, with Quakers Hill forecast to gain 2,626 persons to 2041 based on current annual ERP metrics, equating to an overall expansion of 9.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
375 new dwellings have been approved in Quakers Hill over the past five years, an average of 75 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 75 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 63% 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 approvals in Quakers Hill have tracked at an annual average of roughly 75 new dwellings, generating 375 homes across the past 5 financial years. With an influx of 3.4 new residents per year for each dwelling built across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local housing demand comfortably outpaces newly built stock, typically putting upward pressure on property values and intensifying buyer interest. Newly constructed homes average an estimated construction cost of $299,000, which sits below regional averages and provides comparatively affordable entry points. Meanwhile, commercial building approvals reached $3.8 million this financial year, underscoring subdued non-residential development activity.
Residential building volume in Quakers Hill is substantially subdued relative to Greater Sydney, sitting 81.0% below regional average per person. This restricted pace of additions commonly underpins demand and pricing dynamics across established homes. It also remains below the national benchmark, reflecting an established, mature urban footprint with potential planning or land constraints. Recent residential building activity is split between 63.0% detached houses and 37.0% townhouses or apartments, with this broader mix of medium-density stock providing housing choices spanning family residences to budget-conscious compact dwellings. Recording approximately 519 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical mature-market characteristics. Over the period extending to 2041, Quakers Hill is projected to add 2,561 residents based on current AreaSearch quarterly modeling. Should prevailing building rates persist, residential supply is anticipated to satisfy demographic growth comfortably, sustaining supportive buyer conditions while leaving capacity for growth to outpace baseline projections.

16,194 residents of Quakers Hill are employed, from a labour force of 16,566. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 81.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 19,326, 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
A highly qualified talent pool characterizes Quakers Hill, marked by substantial engagement in professional sectors, an unemployment rate standing at only 2.2%, and yearly job growth estimated at 1.4%. In March 2026, 16,194 residents were actively employed. The local jobless rate rests 1.9% below the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, while labor force participation reaches an elevated 81.1%, well above Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records indicate that 45.1% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure reflects conditions during Covid-19 restrictions. Health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical services represent the leading sectors employing local residents.
Transport, postal & warehousing exhibits significant local concentration, capturing an employment share 1.4 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical employment remains under-indexed locally, engaging 8.7% of Quakers Hill workers compared with 11.5% in Greater Sydney. Comparing the Census working population against resident worker counts suggests this largely residential suburb generates modest internal employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch synthesis of ABS and SALM records, the 12 months to March 2026 saw local employment expand by 1.4% and the workforce grow by 1.3%, decreasing the unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 1.9%, the labor pool grew by 1.9%, and unemployment registered a marginal decline. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26 provide context regarding emerging labor demand. These five- and ten-year models, applied to the local workforce composition, indicate potential trajectories across varying industry sectors. While nation-wide employment is forecast to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, sector growth varies widely. Applying these industry growth expectations to the employment profile of Quakers Hill indicates projected local job expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighting model for illustrative purposes and excludes local population dynamics).

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 — 199 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (24,670 at the 2021 Census → 26,197 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.
