This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Colyton has an estimated 9,188 residents, up from 8,770 at the 2021 Census — a change of 418 people, or 4.8%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. That puts 2,768 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 ABS demographic releases alongside new addresses confirmed following the Census, the suburb of Colyton has an estimated population of approximately 9,188 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 418 people (4.8%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 8,770 people. That adjustment stems from an estimated resident population of 9,171 determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, complemented by 21 validated new addresses identified following the Census date. With this headcount, population density stands at 2,767 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the highest quartile among locations evaluated across Australia.
The 4.8% post-census rise in the suburb of Colyton sits within 0.6 percentage points of the wider SA3 region (5.4%), highlighting solid growth drivers. Recent population increases were largely fueled by natural increase, which made up around 53.0% of total demographic additions. Projections for SA2 districts published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (referencing 2022 as base year) are implemented by AreaSearch, with missing SA2 localities filled by the 2022 NSW State Government SA2-level series using 2021 as a base. Age-specific rates from these aggregations are projected across all zones from 2032 to 2041. Future expectations point to above-median population gains compared with Australian statistical areas overall; aggregated SA2 modeling indicates the suburb of Colyton will add 1,274 persons by 2041, representing a 13.7% overall rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
198 new dwellings have been approved in Colyton over the past five years, an average of 39 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 44 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 57% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 44, broadly in line with 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
AreaSearch's review of statistical area building approvals indicates that Colyton averages approximately 39 residential dwelling approvals annually, totaling an estimated 198 residential units over the preceding 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), with 44 approved to date in FY-25. The ratio of 2.4 new residents annually per dwelling across those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) points to sustained demand supporting local real estate, while approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $260,000—under regional benchmarks—highlighting economical building choices. Furthermore, $561,000 in commercial approvals has been registered during the current financial year, underlining the dominant residential orientation of local building activity.
Per capita residential construction in Colyton tracks closely with Greater Sydney, preserving balanced market dynamics relative to the metropolitan territory, despite an easing in recent building volume. Approved dwellings comprise 57.0% detached houses and 43.0% attached formats, with an expanding pipeline of townhouses and units broadening options from single-family layouts to cost-effective compact homes. This represents a marked departure from the existing dwelling base (95.0% houses), reflecting scarcer residential land alongside evolving buyer preferences and budget considerations. Generating approximately 253 people per approval, Colyton functions as a low-density precinct. Moving forward, Colyton is projected to gain 1,257 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. With current building trends, upcoming residential stock appears well-placed to satisfy incoming housing demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling local demographic growth to outperform existing forecasts.

4,145 residents of Colyton are employed, from a labour force of 4,415. Unemployment sits at 6.1%, with participation at 60.0%. 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 7,419, about 81% 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
Colyton features an even mix of white-collar and blue-collar occupations, supported by a strong presence in manufacturing and industrial trades, while registering an unemployment rate of 6.1% according to aggregated statistical district data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, employed residents number 4,145, the jobless rate sits 2.0% above the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, and the participation rate is notably subdued (60.0% versus 68.9% across Greater Sydney). Census figures indicated 24.0% of local workers performed duties from home, an outcome influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Colyton displays a pronounced concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, where the local workforce share reaches 2.1 times the metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, engaging just 3.9% of local workers against 11.5% in Greater Sydney. Given the predominantly suburban residential profile, internal job openings remain constrained when comparing Census working population numbers against the resident workforce. AreaSearch evaluated SALM and ABS data from wider statistical regions for the period ending March 2026, revealing a 3.8% contraction in the labour force and a 3.7% drop in employment, which resulted in unemployment remaining relatively stable. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% rise in both employment and the labour force, accompanied by a slight decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia issued national employment forecasts for Mar-26 to help anticipate future demand in Colyton. These forecasts span five and ten year intervals and were overlaid with Colyton's current employment structure to project growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though these gains vary considerably across different industry sectors. When these sectoral growth rates are applied to Colyton's existing employment composition, local employment is anticipated to rise by 6.1% over five years and by 12.8% over ten years, though this represents a basic weighted extrapolation intended only for illustration and excludes localized 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 — 21 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,770 at the 2021 Census → 9,188 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.
