Detail

This demographic shift is calculated from the resident count of 9,921, determined by AreaSearch through evaluating the most recent ABS ERP publication (June 2025) and incorporating an additional 26 validated new addresses since the Census date.

This size of population translates to a density ratio of 3,921 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch, indicating that local real estate is a highly coveted asset.

For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch employs SA2 level projections from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Artarmon

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

24 new dwellings have been approved in Artarmon over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Through parsing ABS building approvals data compiled from statistical areas, the suburb of Artarmon has averaged approximately 4 residential building permits annually, with a total of 24 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and none so far in FY-26. Because population levels declined in the preceding interval, the volume of housing supply has proved sufficient for local requirements, sustaining a balanced marketplace with healthy opportunities for purchasers, while incoming residences carry an average construction cost of $767,000, indicating that building firms are focusing on high-end properties within the premium sector.

Furthermore, the current financial year has seen $22.1 million in commercial building permits issued, indicating steady commercial construction activity. Relative to Greater Sydney, building volume in the suburb of Artarmon is substantially lower, sitting 92.0% below the regional per capita average. This restricted pipeline of new construction typically reinforces demand and values for pre-existing houses, even though building numbers have risen recently. This construction volume is also below the national average, pointing to local market maturity and potential geographic or regulatory limitations. Incoming projects are comprised of 33.0% detached houses and 67.0% townhouses or apartments. This preference for higher-density housing formats provides accessible options for entry-level buyers while attracting investors, downsizers, and first-time buyers. With approximately 1320 people per approval, the suburb of Artarmon exhibits the traits of an established, mature location. Long-term forecasts indicate that the suburb of Artarmon will add 361 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should current building rates persist, the supply of new housing may fall short of demographic expansion, potentially intensifying buyer rivalry and underpinning robust capital growth.

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 — 26 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,417 at the 2021 Census → 9,921 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 (SAL10091). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Artarmon suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Artarmon 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 Artarmon 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 Aug 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.
