Sales Detail
Georges Hall has an estimated 10,163 residents, up from 9,739 at the 2021 Census — a change of 424 people, or 4.4%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. That puts 3,089 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
According to investigations of ABS population revisions for the surrounding region, combined with address records confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Georges Hall has a projected population of approximately 10,163 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 424 residents (4.4%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 9,739 residents. This variation is derived from a resident count of 10,126 estimated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP publication, alongside an extra 60 validated new addresses added after the Census. Such a population count translates to a density of 3,089 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest tier of all areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
The post-Census expansion of 4.4% in the suburb of Georges Hall trails the broader SA3 region (5.4%) by 1.0 percentage points, demonstrating solid growth dynamics. The expansion was largely underpinned by arrivals from abroad, who accounted for roughly 71.0% of the overall population growth during recent times. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 tracts are adopted by AreaSearch, referencing 2024 releases based on 2022. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, projections compiled by the NSW State Government in 2022 with a 2021 base are utilized. Age bracket growth trends from these files are further applied to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic movements point to an expansion rate slightly below the national median, with the locality expected to add 1,050 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2 forecasts, representing a rise of 10.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
333 new dwellings have been approved in Georges Hall over the past five years, an average of 66 a year. That places the area in the 59th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 64 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 34% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 65, broadly in line with 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
Evaluations of ABS building approvals adjusted from regional statistics indicate that the suburb of Georges Hall averages approximately 66 new residential approvals annually, with an estimated 333 dwellings approved over the preceding 5 fiscal years. During FY-26 so far, 60 approvals have been documented. Since the area added an average of only 0.9 new residents per built dwelling each year over the 5 fiscal years from FY-21 to FY-25, residential construction is keeping pace with or running ahead of demand. This provides purchasers with greater choice and supports population increases that may exceed current forecasts, with new homes registering a mean construction cost of $423,000—just above the wider regional average—pointing to a preference for high-caliber projects.
Additionally, commercial approvals worth $8.8 million were recorded this fiscal year, reinforcing the residential focus of the locality. In comparison to Greater Sydney, construction volumes in the suburb of Georges Hall are moderately elevated, running 21.0% above the regional per-capita average over the 5 year span, which helps sustain buyer options while supporting established asset values. The pipeline of new supply is divided between detached houses at 34.0% and medium-to-high density formats like townhouses or apartments at 66.0%. This shift toward higher-density building provides more affordable points of entry and appeals to buyers looking to downsize, investors, and first-time purchasers. This represents a clear shift from the historical mix of 86.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land and matching changing lifestyle habits and budget constraints. Registering roughly 185 residents for every approval, the suburb of Georges Hall remains a low-density community. Looking ahead, the suburb of Georges Hall is projected to increase its population by 1,013 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly numbers from AreaSearch. Considering current building trends, the supply of new dwellings is positioned to satisfy demand comfortably, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially assisting population gains that outstrip current models.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,315, about 82% 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 suburb of Georges Hall possesses a qualified workforce spanning multiple industries, with a jobless rate of 7.9% and an annual employment expansion estimated at 2.6% using compiled regional data. As of March 2026, there are 4,429 employed local residents, though the unemployment rate is 3.8% higher than the Greater Sydney mark of 4.1%, highlighting potential for labor market gains, while workforce participation is notably lower at 61.1% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census responses show a substantial 38.7% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions.
Resident jobs are heavily clustered in health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The local workforce has a high concentration in construction, with its employment share tracking at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minor footprint, accounting for 5.9% of local workers compared to 11.5% across the region. The residential focus of the area limits local job opportunities, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident count. Based on AreaSearch reviews of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from regional levels, the 12-month window brought a 2.6% rise in employment alongside a 4.0% expansion of the labor force, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 1.3 percentage points. During the same timeframe, Greater Sydney saw jobs grow by 1.9% and its labor force expand by 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia forecasts from May-25 offer additional context on future labor needs in the suburb of Georges Hall. These five-year and ten-year national projections have been combined with local data to model employment trajectories. Although national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Mapping these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment in the suburb of Georges Hall will rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation for comparison that does not incorporate localized population shifts.

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 — 60 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,739 at the 2021 Census → 10,163 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.
