Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Drummoyne has an estimated 12,706 residents, up from 12,011 at the 2021 Census — a change of 695 people, or 5.8%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 101 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 77.0% of that increase. That puts 5,500 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

Drawing on recent ABS population revisions for the surrounding region alongside post-Census address validations by AreaSearch, the population of the suburb of Drummoyne is estimated at approximately 12,706 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 12,011 individuals counted during the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 695 residents (5.8%). The figure is derived from an Estimated Resident Population of 12,685 established via the ABS June 2025 ERP update, combined with 101 newly validated residential addresses since Census night. Current totals translate to an urban density of 5,500 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top 10% nationwide according to AreaSearch benchmarks and highlighting intense demand for local land.

Furthermore, Drummoyne's 5.8% expansion since the 2021 Census outpaced the broader SA3 figure of 5.6%, establishing it as a regional growth outperformer. Recent demographic expansion was largely underpinned by net overseas migration, which generated roughly 77.0% of total population gains. Projections for each SA2 district utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 data from 2022 against a 2021 base year. Projected age-bracket rates from these sources are extended across all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Applying this framework across the suburb of Drummoyne suggests an overall demographic reduction, contracting by 84 persons by 2041. In contrast, older demographics are set to expand, most notably the cohort aged 85 and over, which is forecast to increase by 398 people.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

278 new dwellings have been approved in Drummoyne over the past five years, an average of 55 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Detail

According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential building approvals aggregated across local statistical boundaries, Drummoyne registers roughly 55 residential approvals annually, accumulating to approximately 278 dwellings across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 43 approvals have been logged. With an average intake of 1.7 new residents per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 through FY-25), development activity closely aligns with local demand, underpinning balanced market fundamentals. Furthermore, an average construction cost of $1,054,000 per approved dwelling underscores developer orientation toward high-end, premium residential projects.

Commercial activity remains moderate, with $13.2 million in commercial building approvals authorized during the current financial year. Per capita building approvals in Drummoyne track 59.0% below the regional average, demonstrating far lower development intensity than Greater Sydney overall. While such supply constraints typically reinforce valuations and buyer demand within the established housing stock, local construction activity has gained momentum recently. Approvals break down into 43.0% detached houses and 57.0% medium-to-high density formats. This higher proportion of multi-dwelling residential construction creates entry points for first-home purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. Measuring approximately 169 people per approved dwelling, the suburb represents a low-density development profile. With long-term population projections pointing toward flat or slightly declining headcounts, underlying housing demand may soften, potentially enhancing purchasing leverage for incoming buyers.

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 — 101 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,011 at the 2021 Census → 12,706 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 (SAL11296). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Drummoyne suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Drummoyne page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Drummoyne data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
