As of Nov 2025, Georges Hall's population is estimated at around 10,179. This reflects an increase of 440 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 9,739. The change was inferred from the resident population of 10,173, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024) and an additional 64 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,093 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Georges Hall's growth rate of 4.5% since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area's growth rate of 4.1%. Population growth was primarily driven by overseas migration, contributing approximately 71.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, 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. Future population trends suggest an increase just below the median of Australian statistical areas, with the suburb expected to grow by 1,114 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total increase of 9.5% over the 17 years.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Georges Hall when compared nationally

Georges Hall has seen approximately 67 new homes approved annually based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers. Over the past five financial years, from FY21 to FY25, around 337 homes were approved, with an additional 21 approved so far in FY26. On average, each dwelling constructed over these years has added about 0.8 new residents annually.

This pace of construction is meeting or exceeding demand, providing more housing options and potentially driving population growth beyond current projections. The average expected construction cost of new properties in Georges Hall is $423,000, which is below regional norms, offering more affordable housing choices. In FY26, commercial approvals have reached $9.7 million, indicating balanced commercial development activity in the area compared to Greater Sydney. Georges Hall's construction levels are 22.0% above the regional average per person over the past five years, maintaining good buyer choice while supporting existing property values. The new developments consist of 35.0% detached dwellings and 65.0% attached dwellings, reflecting a shift towards higher-density living to create more affordable entry points for downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers.

This change is notable as the current housing mix in Georges Hall is predominantly houses (86.0%). With around 176 people per dwelling approval, Georges Hall exhibits characteristics of a low-density area. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, the population is projected to grow by 966 residents by 2041. Given current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
