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, Floraville's population is estimated at around 1,827 people. This reflects an increase from the 2021 Census figure of 1,814 people, a rise of 13 individuals (0.7%). The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of resident population at 1,802 following examination of ABS's latest ERP data release in June 2024 and an additional 31 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,343 persons per square kilometer, above national averages assessed by AreaSearch. Floraville's growth rate of 0.7% since the census is within 2.2 percentage points of the SA3 area's growth (2.9%), indicating competitive growth fundamentals. Overseas migration contributed approximately 93.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections are used, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, demographic trends suggest an overall population decline in Floraville over this period. According to the methodology used, the suburb's population is projected to shrink by 95 persons by 2041. However, specific age cohorts are anticipated to grow, notably the 25 to 34 age group, which is projected to expand by 28 people.

The level of residential development activity in Floraville is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Floraville averaged two dwelling approvals per year between 2015 and 2019, totalling 14 dwellings over the five-year period. This limited development activity reflects Floraville's rural nature, where housing needs typically drive development rather than broad market demand. The small number of approvals can significantly impact annual growth statistics.

Compared to Rest of NSW and national patterns, Floraville shows less construction activity. New building activity consists of 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% attached dwellings, including a growing mix of townhouses and apartments. This shift marks a departure from the current housing pattern of 89.0% houses, suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. Floraville has approximately 400 people per dwelling approval, indicating an established area with stable or declining population projections, which should reduce housing demand pressures and benefit potential buyers.

With population projections showing stability or decline, Floraville should see reduced housing demand pressures, benefiting potential buyers.

Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 offer insight into potential future demand within Floraville. These projections suggest national employment will expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but growth rates vary significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Floraville's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, assuming constant population projections for illustrative purposes.
