As of November 2025, the estimated population for Bexley North is around 4,336. This figure reflects an increase of 55 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,281. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of 4,338 residents following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and validation of one new address since the Census date.

Overseas migration contributed approximately 81.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

For demographic projections until 2041, AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia's SA2-level projections released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 for areas not covered by the former data. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, Bexley North is expected to grow by 171 persons to reach a total population of 4,507 by the year 2041, reflecting an increase of approximately 5.4% over the 17-year period.
