Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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

This represents a 6.7% expansion, or an increase of 1,192 individuals, since the 2021 Census, which recorded 17,664 people. This growth is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 18,775 and 155 validated new addresses registered after the Census.

Outperforming the SA3 area at 5.4% and the wider SA4 region, Revesby is a local leader in growth.

The main driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 82.8% of the net gains in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as a baseline, are used for each SA2 region. In cases where these are unavailable, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 projections from 2022 with a 2021 base year. Growth rates for different age cohorts derived from these sources are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, demographic trends suggest the area will experience population growth slightly under the national median, with a projected increase of 2,005 persons by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP statistics, indicating a 10.2% overall rise across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Revesby

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

703 new dwellings have been approved in Revesby over the past five years, an average of 140 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 107 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 16% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 149, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Revesby records approximately 140 residential development approvals annually, totaling 703 approved dwellings over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 137 approvals during the current FY-26 period. An average influx of 1.4 individuals for each new home built between FY-21 and FY-25 points to a balanced relationship between supply and demand, fostering market stability, while new builds have an average estimated construction cost of $322,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $7.6 million have been documented so far this financial year, reinforcing the residential emphasis of the neighborhood. Compared to Greater Sydney, building approvals in Revesby are slightly higher, tracking 41.0% above the regional average per person over the 5 year period, which maintains choice for buyers while sustaining property values, even though construction activity has moderated recently.

Newly approved projects consist of 16.0% detached houses and 84.0% medium and high-density developments. This preference for denser housing styles provides budget-friendly entry points and draws interest from downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear transition from the current housing stock, which is 64.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land, shifting lifestyle preferences, and a demand for more varied, economical housing options. The ratio of roughly 164 people for every dwelling approval highlights Revesby as a developing suburb. Long-term forecasts suggest Revesby will add 1,924 inhabitants by 2041, according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction trajectories indicate that the supply of new housing will easily accommodate this growth, offering favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling population expansion to exceed current forecasts.

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 — 155 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (17,664 at the 2021 Census → 18,856 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (119011360). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Revesby SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Revesby page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Revesby data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Jul 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
