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 AreaSearch, the population of Rooty Hill - Minchinbury stands at approximately 23,328 people as of Aug 2026. This figure represents a rise of 502 residents, or 2.2%, compared to the 2021 Census count of 22,826 individuals. The adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 23,226 from June 2025 along with 135 newly validated addresses added after the Census date. The resulting population density reaches 1,595 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the average recorded by AreaSearch for comparable national locations. During the last ten years, Rooty Hill - Minchinbury has shown steady expansion with a compound annual growth rate of 0.8%, surpassing the SA3 region.
Recent growth in the area has been largely fueled by overseas migration, accounting for roughly 94.5% of the total population increase in recent times. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia (using 2022 as their starting point) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 figures (based on 2021) wherever gaps occur. Age-specific growth trajectories from these sources are likewise integrated for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to sit slightly underneath the nationwide median across statistical zones, with the local area anticipated to increase by 1,237 persons by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP data, translating to an overall rise of 4.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
259 new dwellings have been approved in Rooty Hill - Minchinbury over the past five years, an average of 51 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 51 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 82% 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 Rooty Hill - Minchinbury have averaged roughly 51 dwellings annually, totaling 259 residential approvals during the latest 5 financial years (spanning FY-22 to FY-26). Given that incoming resident numbers averaged only 0.4 people per year for every home constructed throughout the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to housing stock are matching or exceeding local demand. This scenario widens buyer options and establishes capacity for demographic expansion beyond baseline forecasts, particularly as average construction costs of $287,000 sit below regional figures to offer relatively accessible entry points.
Concurrently, commercial building approvals reached $129.4 million during the ongoing financial year, highlighting strong commercial investment across the precinct. On a per-capita basis, construction activity in Rooty Hill - Minchinbury sits 19.0% below the Greater Sydney standard, placing the community in the 32nd percentile nationally. While this more limited rate of new supply tends to constrain purchasing alternatives and stimulate demand for established dwellings, it also falls below nationwide averages, illustrating the mature character of the suburb alongside possible planning boundaries. Among new residential approvals, detached dwellings make up 82.0% while townhouses or apartments represent 18.0%, preserving a traditional low-density suburban landscape favored by families prioritizing space. The district averages approximately 477 people per dwelling approval, underscoring its long-established residential footprint. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Rooty Hill - Minchinbury is expected to add 1,135 residents leading up to 2041. Considering prevailing building trends, the future supply of residential dwellings appears well positioned to accommodate demand, fostering favorable buying opportunities and potentially enabling population increases above current expectations.

Detail
The local labour force in Rooty Hill - Minchinbury demonstrates strong educational credentials across a varied range of industries, registering a jobless rate of 4.7% alongside a 1.5% increase in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 12,574. The local unemployment rate sits 0.5% higher than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, while overall labour force engagement aligns closely with Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records indicate that 29.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, an elevated proportion that was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
Locals are primarily employed across health care & social assistance, retail trade, as well as transport, postal & warehousing. Concentration is particularly pronounced within transport, postal & warehousing, where local workforce representation is 1.9 times the broader metropolitan standard. In contrast, the professional & technical sector is noticeably underrepresented, engaging just 5.5% of workers in Rooty Hill - Minchinbury compared against 11.5% across Greater Sydney. Comparing the Census count of local working residents against resident counts suggests substantial numbers travel beyond the area to access employment. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, employment levels rose by 1.5% and the labour force grew by 1.3% during the year to March 2026, which led to a 0.2 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. Greater Sydney experienced stronger growth, with employment rising by 1.9%, the labour force expanding by 1.9%, and unemployment falling only slightly. Jobs and Skills Australia’s national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context for potential future demand in Rooty Hill - Minchinbury. These projections span five and ten-year periods and have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though growth varies considerably across industry sectors. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to Rooty Hill - Minchinbury’s employment mix indicates that local employment should rise by 6.3% over five years and by 13.4% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account 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 — 135 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (22,826 at the 2021 Census → 23,328 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.
