Floraville

Floraville is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As of November 2025, the estimated population of the Floraville statistical area (Lv2) is around 1,831, reflecting an increase of 17 people since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 1,814. This increase is inferred from AreaSearch's validation of new addresses and examination of ABS data. The population density stands at 1,346 persons per square kilometer, above national averages assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration contributed approximately 93% to overall population gains in recent periods. AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in June 2024 with a base year of 2022.

For areas not covered, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections from 2022 (base year: 2021) are utilized. Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. By 2041, the Floraville (SA2)'s population is projected to decrease by 95 persons according to AreaSearch's methodology. However, specific age cohorts like the 25-34 group are expected to grow, with projections indicating an increase of 28 people in this age bracket over this period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Floraville, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Floraville averaged 2 approvals per year between January 2016 and December 2020, resulting in a total of 14 dwellings over this five-year period. This low level of development activity reflects the rural nature of Floraville, where housing needs are typically specific to the local area rather than driven by broader market demand. Due to the small number of approvals, individual projects can significantly impact annual growth and relativity statistics.

Compared to Rest of NSW and national patterns, Floraville shows significantly less construction activity. New building activity in Floraville consists of 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% attached dwellings, marking a significant shift from the current housing pattern of 89.0% houses. This focus on higher-density living creates more affordable entry points for downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. The location has approximately 300 people per dwelling approval, indicating a low density market. With population projections showing stability or decline, Floraville is expected to experience reduced housing demand pressures in the future, benefiting potential buyers.
