Detail
Following an examination of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses confirmed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Cranebrook has an estimated population of 16,036 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 257 people (1.6%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded 15,779 people. The adjustment is calculated from a resident population of 15,996, which was estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 52 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population size results in a density ratio of 1,072 persons per square kilometer, which is consistent with the averages of other locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Population growth in the suburb of Cranebrook was mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 74.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this data, AreaSearch utilizes the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age bracket from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at population projections for the suburb of Cranebrook moving forward, growth is expected to align with the lower quartile of national areas, with the suburb of Cranebrook projected to add 257 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total increase of 1.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
100 new dwellings have been approved in Cranebrook over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 87% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, well below 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Cranebrook has seen approximately 20 dwellings gain development approval annually, with an estimated 100 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 8 so far in FY-26. With an average of only 0.2 people per year relocating to the area for each dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), new construction matches or exceeds demand, providing buyers with more alternatives and supporting population growth that could surpass current expectations, while new homes are being constructed at an average value of $393,000.
There have also been $737,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, highlighting the residential character of the area. Compared to Greater Sydney, Cranebrook displays significantly lower building activity (79.0% below the regional average per person). This restricted new supply generally helps support stronger demand and values for existing properties. This level of activity is also lower than the national average, reflecting market maturity and pointing to possible development constraints. New building activity consists of 87.0% detached houses and 13.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the suburban character of the area with a focus on detached housing that attracts buyers looking for space. The location has approximately 998 people per dwelling approval, showing an established market. Looking ahead, Cranebrook is projected to expand by 217 residents through to 2041 (based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on current development trends, new housing supply is expected to easily meet demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current forecasts.

8,677 residents of Cranebrook are employed, from a labour force of 9,054. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 71.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,980, about 75% 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
Cranebrook features a balanced workforce distributed across white and blue collar jobs, with the construction sector showing particularly strong representation, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.2%, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 8,677 residents are employed, which aligns closely with the Greater Sydney unemployment rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation is standard (71.5% compared to Greater Sydney's 69.1%). Based on Census responses, a high 30.7% of residents worked from home, although the impacts of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account. The primary employment industries among residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
The area displays a particular employment specialization in construction, with an employment share that is 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles show lower representation at 4.6% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. The mostly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw the labour force contract by 4.1% and employment decrease by 4.5%, which led to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.4 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Sydney, where employment increased by 1.9%, the labour force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment decreased slightly. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia from May-25 can provide additional context on potential future demand in Cranebrook. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific forecasts to Cranebrook's employment mix suggests local employment should rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for 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 — 52 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,779 at the 2021 Census → 16,036 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.
