Cecil Hills has an estimated 6,841 residents, down from 6,906 at the 2021 Census. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 95% of areas nationally. That puts 1,100 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic releases alongside new addresses verified since the Census, the suburb of Cecil Hills records an estimated 6,841 residents as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 2021 Census count of 6,906 people, this indicates a contraction of 65 people (0.9%). The estimate stems from an ERP figure of 6,831 determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the June 2025 ABS release, combined with 3 post-Census validated new addresses. Demographically, the suburb of Cecil Hills maintains a density of 1,099 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch locations.
Inbound overseas migration served as the principal demographic driver, accounting for roughly 70.0% of all recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 district rely on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia figures calibrated to a 2022 baseline, while any remaining SA2 territories utilize 2022 NSW State Government models based on 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort-specific growth rates derived from these datasets are applied across all locations. Future demographic trajectories suggest expansion slightly below the median of national statistical benchmarks, with the suburb of Cecil Hills projected to add 670 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 modelling, representing an overall expansion of 9.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
22 new dwellings have been approved in Cecil Hills over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 7, 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 statistical allocations of ABS residential approvals compiled by AreaSearch, building activity in Cecil Hills averages roughly 4 new homes yearly, totaling an estimated 22 residential approvals across the preceding 5 financial years (from FY-21 through FY-25), with 7 logged during FY-25 to date. Against local population contraction, this delivery pace has adequately accommodated buyer demand and maintained market selection, with approved residences averaging an estimated construction cost of $323,000—a figure below the broader regional standard pointing to attainable construction. Emphasizing the locality's predominantly residential character, non-residential building approvals stand at $76,000 this financial year.
Residential construction volume in Cecil Hills trails Greater Sydney by a wide margin. Although building activity has recently accelerated, constrained additions generally reinforce buyer demand and underpin established asset values. Construction figures also register below national benchmarks, underscoring local market maturity and potential zoning or planning limitations. Approved stock comprises 80.0% detached dwellings alongside 20.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving traditional low-density suburban appeal for buyers seeking space. An allocation of approximately 1140 people per dwelling approval further highlights an established, built-out market. Forecasts indicate Cecil Hills will add 660 residents through to 2041 based on quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. Should current construction tempos persist, residential output could lag demographic expansion, heightening competition among purchasers and placing upward pressure on property values.

4,127 residents of Cecil Hills are employed, from a labour force of 4,217. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 72.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,187, about 76% 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
Cecil Hills maintains a capable local workforce distinguished by pronounced industrial and manufacturing engagement, a low unemployment rate of 2.1%, and annual employment growth estimated at 5.4% via AreaSearch statistical area datasets. By March 2026, employed locals reached 4,127, while the local jobless rate sits 2.0% beneath the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, supported by a healthy 72.9% participation rate compared to 68.9% regionally. Census records show 37.2% of workers performed their duties from home, though historical Covid-19 lockdown restrictions influenced these figures. Resident employment centers primarily on retail trade, manufacturing, and health care & social assistance.
Local manufacturing participation is especially pronounced, tracking at 1.8 times the wider metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 6.2% of local workers versus 11.5% across the region. Comparisons between the resident workforce and locally situated Census jobs indicate limited employment positions within the immediate boundary. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS figures, compiled from wider statistical regions, the period ending March 2026 saw a 5.4% rise in employment and a 5.0% expansion in the labour force, which together caused unemployment to drop by 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9%, labour force growth of 1.9%, alongside only a marginal decline in unemployment. The Jobs and Skills Australia national employment outlooks dated Mar-26 provide additional perspective on anticipated future demand within Cecil Hills. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to project growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Cecil Hills’s employment composition, the implication is that local employment will grow by 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (it should be noted that this represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized population forecasts).

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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,906 at the 2021 Census → 6,841 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL10864). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
