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.

Sales Detail
Turramurra has an estimated 20,596 residents, up from 20,251 at the 2021 Census — a change of 345 people, or 1.7%. That puts 998 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the resident count for Turramurra stands at approximately 20,596 in May 2026. Compared to the 20,251 citizens recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a rise of 345 residents, or 1.7%. The calculation is derived using the ABS June 2025 estimate of 20,594 residents alongside 33 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. The resulting population density is 997 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical values observed in similar studied regions. The post-census expansion rate of 1.7% is within 2.7 percentage points of the broader SA3 region's growth of 4.4%, highlighting solid expansion dynamics.
The primary contributor to local population increases was overseas migration, which served as the sole source of population growth in recent periods. AreaSearch utilizes projections for each SA2 region published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as the base reference year. If a specific SA2 area lacks this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 base year are substituted. Age-specific growth patterns from these sources are extended to project demographic shifts from 2032 to 2041. Future expectations point to growth matching the lower quartile of national statistics, with the local population projected to increase by 415 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, representing a cumulative 16-year gain of 2.0%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
479 new dwellings have been approved in Turramurra over the past five years, an average of 95 a year. That places the area in the 58th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 78 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 62% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 45, well below 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
Development approvals in Turramurra average approximately 95 residential properties annually, with 479 approvals recorded over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 42 approvals documented during FY-26 to date. Given that only 0.2 new residents have arrived for each approved home over the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, residential construction is successfully satisfying or outstripping local demand, enhancing options for buyers and allowing for population gains that could exceed forecasts. The average construction cost for these new builds is $724,000, illustrating a developer focus on high-end property segments.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $19.0 million have been recorded during the current financial year, pointing to steady business development. Residential building activity in Turramurra is slightly higher than the regional benchmark, running 22.0% above the Greater Sydney average per capita over the 5 year timeframe, supporting healthy consumer choice while maintaining demand for existing properties. Out of all recent construction projects, 62.0% consist of detached houses while 38.0% comprise medium and high-density developments, offering a diverse selection ranging from spacious family residences to budget-friendly townhouses and apartments. With an average of 188 people per approved dwelling, the suburb exhibits characteristic low-density traits. Long-term forecasts estimate that Turramurra will add 412 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. The current pace of residential construction should be sufficient to meet this incoming demand, sustaining a positive environment for purchasers and facilitating potential growth beyond official forecasts.

10,355 residents of Turramurra are employed, from a labour force of 10,615. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 61.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 17,528, about 85% 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 characterized by high levels of education, with a strong concentration of professionals in the technology industry, a low unemployment rate of 2.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.0% over the previous year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 10,355, representing an unemployment rate that is 1.7% lower than the 4.1% rate in Greater Sydney. However, the labor participation rate of 61.7% is lower than the 69.1% recorded across Greater Sydney. Census records show that 62.8% of employed individuals worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
Local residents are predominantly employed in the professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training sectors. The professional & technical services sector is notably prominent, with employment levels reaching 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, construction workers represent only 5.2% of the local workforce, compared to 8.6% across Greater Sydney. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local employment options within the area are relatively limited. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that employment levels rose by 2.0% and the labour force grew by 1.4% during the year to March 2026, which resulted in a 0.6 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labour force growth of 1.9%, with only a marginal reduction in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional context for potential future demand within Turramurra. These forecasts span five and ten-year periods and have been overlaid with the local employment profile to estimate growth trends. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though growth varies considerably across industry sectors. When these sector-specific projections are applied to Turramurra's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 7.5% over five years and 15.0% 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 — 33 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,251 at the 2021 Census → 20,596 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 (121031411). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
