Sales Detail
Emerton has an estimated 2,748 residents, up from 2,295 at the 2021 Census — a change of 453 people, or 19.7%. Growth has averaged 3.4% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 55.0% of that increase. That puts 3,523 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
Examining population updates from the ABS for the surrounding region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Emerton has an estimated population of approximately 2,748 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 453 residents (19.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 2,295 residents. The calculation relies on a resident population estimate of 2,743 by AreaSearch, derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release plus an additional 6 validated new addresses since the Census. Such population numbers yield a density of 3,523 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the country's highest quartile for density among locations analysed by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Emerton's expansion of 19.7% since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 region (3.6%) and the state overall, establishing the suburb as a local growth frontrunner. Natural increase was the primary contributor, accounting for roughly 55.00000000000001% of all population growth during recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilised by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. Where this is unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth rates from these projections are applied to all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, the suburb of Emerton is expected to align with the country's lowest growth quartile, with projections indicating an increase of 79 residents by 2041, representing a total rise of 2.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
60 new dwellings have been approved in Emerton over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 42, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals from the ABS indicate that Emerton averages roughly 12 dwelling approvals annually, summing to approximately 60 residences over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 39 approvals. With an average of 7 new residents for each completed home between FY-21 and FY-25, demand outpaces supply, which typically drives up values and buyer competition. New builds carry an average estimated value of $206,000, which is under the regional average and offers more budget-friendly opportunities. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $4.1 million have been logged this financial year, reinforcing the residential focus of the suburb.
Per capita construction activity in Emerton is 86.0% higher than in Greater Sydney, offering more options for prospective buyers. The new supply comprises 92.0% single family houses and 8.0% medium to high density options like apartments or townhouses, preserving the local suburban feel with family-friendly dwellings. The ratio of approximately 141 people per residential approval is characteristic of a developing area. Demographic projections suggest Emerton will add 74 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly AreaSearch estimates. At current rates of building, the supply of new housing is poised to satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially facilitating growth exceeding current demographic projections.

993 residents of Emerton are employed, from a labour force of 1,229. Unemployment sits at 19.2%, with participation at 59.6%. 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 2,389, 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 labor market is balanced between professional and trade-based occupations across various sectors, showing an unemployment rate of 19.2% and a estimated employment increase of 9.0% over the last year. By March 2026993 residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 15.1% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, indicating room for growth. Participation in the workforce is also lower, sitting at 59.6% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates 16.5% of workers commuted virtually from home, though this figure was influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. Local employment is largely concentrated in retail, healthcare and social assistance, alongside manufacturing.
The area exhibits a strong specialization in manufacturing, with a employment share that is 2.0 times the regional average. On the other hand, professional and technical services are underrepresented at 2.3% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. Given the gap between the working population and local jobs in the Census, the suburb appears to offer few local work opportunities. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader area, the 12 months ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 9.0% and the workforce grow by 5.8%, resulting in a 2.4 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Sydney recorded an employment increase of 1.9% and workforce growth of 1.9%, alongside a minor reduction in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 provide further context for future demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates differ by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could rise by 5.6% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted trend that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,295 at the 2021 Census → 2,748 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.
