Botany has an estimated 13,956 residents, up from 12,960 at the 2021 Census — a change of 996 people, or 7.7%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. 128 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 54.0% of that increase. That puts 4,459 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
Based on evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new address files validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Botany has a population estimated at approximately 13,956 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 996 people (7.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted a population of 12,960 people. This change is calculated from a resident population of 13,941, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 128 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population translates to a density ratio of 4,458 persons per square kilometer, positioning it in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch, showing that land in this locality is a highly sought-after resource. The 7.7% growth in the suburb of Botany since the 2021 census was higher than the state (7.1%), as well as the SA3 area, making it a regional growth leader. Population growth in the suburb of Botany was mainly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 54.0% of all population gains during recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas without this data, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published in 2022 utilizing 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead at demographic trends, an above median population growth of statistical areas across the country is projected, with the suburb of Botany expected to grow by 2,039 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, recording a gain of 14.5% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
87 new dwellings have been approved in Botany over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 124, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Botany averages about 17 new homes approved annually, with approximately 87 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 114 so far in FY-26. Since an average of 12.1 new residents per year arrived per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply is lagging behind demand, which typically means increased buyer competition, leading to pricing pressures, while new homes are being built at an average value of $720,000, showing a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.
There have also been $20.6 million in commercial approvals this financial year, indicating balanced commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Botany registers significantly lower building activity (85.0% below regional average per person). This limited new construction typically supports demand and pricing for existing dwellings. This activity is also lower than nationally, showing market maturity and suggesting potential development constraints. New building activity consists of 40.0% detached dwellings and 60.0% townhouses or apartments. This focus on higher-density living creates more affordable entry points and suits downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. The location has approximately 924 people per dwelling approval, showing an established market. Future projections indicate Botany adding 2,024 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially increasing buyer competition and supporting price rises.

7,832 residents of Botany are employed, from a labour force of 8,091. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 70.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Botany features a highly educated workforce, with professional services showing strong representation, an unemployment rate of only 3.2%, and 1.1% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 7,832 residents are employed, which is 0.9% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is generally similar to Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Based on Census responses, a high 40.6% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. Employment among residents is concentrated in health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The area has particular employment specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, with an employment share of 1.7 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical shows lower representation at 9.1% versus the regional average of 11.5%. While local employment opportunities exist in the area, it appears many residents commute elsewhere for work, based on the count of Census working population to local population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, employment levels rose by 1.1% and the labour force expanded by 0.8%, causing the unemployment rate to drop by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labour force growth of 1.9%, with a marginal drop. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Botany. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Botany's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.7% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

The median resident of Botany is 36. 26.6% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
At 36 years, Botany's median age is nearly matching the Greater Sydney average of 37 similarly modestly under the Australian median of 38. Relative to Greater Sydney, Botany has a higher concentration of 35 - 44 residents (17.6%) but fewer 25 - 34 year-olds (14.6%). Since the 2021 Census, the 15 to 24 age group has grown from 10.8% to 12.0% of the population. Conversely, the 25 to 34 cohort has declined from 16.3% to 14.6%.

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 — 128 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,960 at the 2021 Census → 13,956 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 (SAL10515). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
