Detail
According to evaluations of ABS population adjustments for the surrounding region, alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Denham Court has a population projected to be approximately 15,828 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 6,699 people (73.4%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 9,129 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 15,769, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release combined with 272 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. This population level yields a density of 1,172 persons per square kilometer, matching typical averages observed across AreaSearch study areas.
The 73.4% expansion rate of the suburb of Denham Court since the 2021 census outpaced the state (7.1%) as well as Greater Sydney, positioning it as a regional growth leader. The gains were mostly propelled by interstate migration, representing roughly 74.0% of the overall population rise in recent times, though natural growth and overseas migration also contributed positively. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government at SA2 level are used, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Growth trajectories for specific age brackets from these sources are likewise applied to all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, a substantial population rise is anticipated within the top quarter of Australian statistical zones, with the suburb of Denham Court expected to expand by 4,982 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2-level projections, showing a total increase of 31.1% over the 16 years.

9,262 residents of Denham Court are employed, from a labour force of 9,453. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 79.1%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 11,906, 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
The suburb of Denham Court has a highly educated workforce with strong representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of only 2.0%, and a 12.5% rise in estimated jobs over the past year, according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. In March 2026, there were 9,262 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 2.1% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is unusually high, reaching 79.1% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney. Census responses show a high 45.2% of residents worked from home, although this should be viewed in light of pandemic lockdowns.
Primary employment sectors for residents include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The suburb of Denham Court has a high concentration of workers in transport, postal & warehousing, at 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented at 8.6% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. The heavily residential nature of the suburb of Denham Court suggests local job opportunities are limited, as shown by the comparison of local workers to resident workers in the Census. Employment grew by 12.5% over the 12 months to March 2026, while the labour force expanded by 12.8%, which led to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This trend differs from Greater Sydney, where both employment and the labour force each rose by 1.9%, resulting in a slight decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional context for potential future demand in Denham Court. These projections, which cover five and ten-year periods, were aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though growth varies considerably across industry sectors. When these sector-specific projections are applied to Denham Court's employment mix, local employment is expected to rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years. This calculation represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised 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 — 272 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,129 at the 2021 Census → 15,828 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 (SAL11237). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
