Sales Detail
Denham Court has an estimated 15,846 residents, up from 9,129 at the 2021 Census — a change of 6,717 people, or 73.6%. Growth has averaged 16.2% a year over five years, faster than 99% of areas nationally. 272 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 74.0% of that increase. That puts 1,174 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
Denham Court's population reached approximately 15,846 people by Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader regional ABS releases with newly confirmed local addresses. This figure represents an expansion of 6,717 residents (73.6%) from the 2021 Census baseline of 9,129 residents. In establishing this change, AreaSearch took into account its earlier resident population estimate of 15,770 based on the ABS June 2025 ERP update alongside 272 post-Census validated addresses. These demographic numbers translate to 1,173 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in line with typical AreaSearch regional benchmarks. Expanding by 73.6% since the 2021 Census, the suburb of Denham Court outperformed both Greater Sydney and NSW overall (7.3%), establishing itself as an outstanding regional expansion hotspot.
Gains were overwhelmingly powered by interstate arrivals, which constituted roughly 74.0% of recent population additions, with natural increases and overseas arrivals also contributing positively. In developing local projections, AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 figures published in 2024 (using 2022 as their foundation), supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 datasets (anchored in 2021). Furthermore, age-specific growth trajectories across these models inform long-term estimates spanning 2032 through 2041. Over this 16-year horizon, the suburb of Denham Court is slated to be among the nation's top quartile for expansion, with aggregate SA2 modeling forecasting an addition of 5,007 persons by 2041—a cumulative gain of 31.1%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,119 new dwellings have been approved in Denham Court over the past five years, an average of 223 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 50 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 80% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 56, 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
Statistical evaluations of ABS residential approvals indicate that Denham Court averaged approximately 223 new home approvals annually, accumulating 1,119 approved dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years, with FY-25 currently accounting for 56 permits. Demand has heavily outpaced additions across FY-21 to FY-25, averaging 33.2 incoming residents annually for each constructed dwelling—a dynamic that typically intensifies buyer competition and stimulates asset appreciation. A focus on higher-end builds is evident in the mean construction value of $635,000 per dwelling, outstripping standard regional figures. Meanwhile, non-residential activity has remained subdued, with commercial building authorisations reaching only $3.9 million this financial year.
Free-standing houses account for 80.0% of new residential development, with medium-and-high density options like apartments and townhouses representing the remaining 20.0%, thereby preserving the low-density neighborhood fabric targeted by family buyers requiring extra room. The density metric of around 294 people per approved home underscores substantial capacity for future development. Based on recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Denham Court is positioned to absorb 4,931 additional residents leading up to 2041. Ongoing building volumes appear well-calibrated to support this incoming population, presenting constructive market conditions for prospective purchasers while providing a foundation that could potentially outperform projected expansion levels.

9,277 residents of Denham Court are employed, from a labour force of 9,468. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 78.9%. 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 11,918, 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
Denham Court boasts a well educated labor force where professional services hold a strong position, unemployment sits at 2.0%, and projected employment growth over the last year reaches 12.5% according to AreaSearch aggregated statistical area data. By March 2026, 9,277 residents are employed, with unemployment at 2.1%, which is 2.0 percentage points lower than Greater Sydney's 4.1%, and workforce participation stands at 78.9%, significantly above the Greater Sydney average of 68.9%. Census data indicates that 45.2% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Major employers of local residents include the construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance sectors. The suburb displays notable concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, where local employment share is 1.5 times that of the wider region. Conversely, technical & professional roles are comparatively light, employing 8.6% of the workforce locally compared to 11.5% throughout Greater Sydney. Given the comparison between resident employees and available local jobs in the Census, the suburb functions primarily as a dormitory community with limited on-site employment. Analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, by AreaSearch showed that over the 12 months to March 2026, employment grew by 12.5% and the labour force expanded by 12.8%, which led to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In Greater Sydney, the picture was different, with employment rising by 1.9%, the labour force growing by 1.9%, and unemployment falling by a small margin. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Denham Court. These projections, which span five and ten-year periods, have been overlaid on 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 industry-specific projections are applied to Denham Court's employment mix, local employment is estimated to rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for 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 Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,129 at the 2021 Census → 15,846 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 (SAL11237). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
