Natural increase accounts for 55.0% of that increase. That puts 3,515 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Emerton has an estimated resident population of roughly 2,742, established via AreaSearch evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside post-Census address validations. This represents an expansion of 447 people (19.5%) above the 2,295 people recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated calculation stems from a resident base of 2,734 determined from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 6 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 3,515 persons per square kilometer, positioning the community in the upper quartile across nationally monitored areas.
The suburb of Emerton outpaced both the broader state and its surrounding SA3 area (3.7%) with its 19.5% gain since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a regional pacesetter. Natural increase was the primary catalyst, generating approximately 55.00000000000001% of recent demographic expansion. Projections for the suburb of Emerton draw on ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 (2022 base year), supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 figures (2021 base year), with age-specific rates applied across all territories from 2032 to 2041. Based on these aggregated SA2 outlooks, the suburb of Emerton is expected to see lower quartile growth nationally, adding 75 persons by 2041 to generate an overall increase of 2.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
67 new dwellings have been approved in Emerton over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 43, running ahead of 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
Dwelling approval figures compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area data show the locality averaging approximately 13 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 67 homes across the prior 5 financial years, with 43 approvals logged to date in FY-25. Across FY-21 to FY-25, an average of 4 incoming occupants per completed dwelling indicates that demand is substantially outstripping new supply, exerting upward pressure on property prices and intensifying buyer competition. Construction costs average $234,000 per dwelling, providing more attainable price points relative to regional benchmarks. Commercial development approvals reached $4.1 million in the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential landscape of the precinct.
Per capita construction activity in the area exceeds Greater Sydney by 188.0%, expanding housing availability for prospective buyers. Recent building permits consist of 95.0% separate houses and 5.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving suburban character and catering to space-focused family households. Notably, this 95.0% single-family building focus outstrips the 78.0% at Census baseline composition, reflecting persistent appetite for detached housing. The current ratio of roughly 72 people per dwelling approval points to an expanding local market. Demographic outlooks anticipate an addition of 67 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Existing construction trajectories suggest forthcoming residential volume will comfortably absorb projected demand, supporting favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population growth beyond current forecasts.

993 residents of Emerton are employed, from a labour force of 1,227. Unemployment sits at 19.1%, with participation at 59.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.6% 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 2,383, about 87% 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 local labour market comprises a blend of blue-collar and white-collar roles across diverse sectors, featuring an unemployment rate of 19.1% alongside an estimated 9.0% yearly employment expansion according to AreaSearch aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents total 993, while the jobless rate sits 14.9% higher than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Labour force participation also trails at 59.5% relative to the Greater Sydney benchmark of 68.9%. Census records indicate that 16.5% of working residents operated from home, though pandemic-era restrictions during that period should be noted. Primary employment sectors for local workers include retail trade, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing.
Industrial concentration is particularly pronounced in manufacturing, where the workforce concentration is 2.0 times the broader metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 2.3% of the resident workforce, falling well short of the 11.5% seen across Greater Sydney. Comparing the Census working population against resident tallies indicates that the surrounding residential precinct offers limited on-site employment. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS statistics shows that in the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 9.0% against a 5.8% rise in the labour pool, reducing unemployment by 2.4 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney, employment and labour force each advanced by 1.9%, alongside a slight dip in joblessness. Industry-level employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 outline national employment growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against the local occupational base indicates potential employment gains of 5.6% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, representing an illustrative baseline that excludes localized population modeling.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,295 at the 2021 Census → 2,742 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 (SAL11416). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
