Gordon (NSW) has an estimated 9,424 residents, up from 8,795 at the 2021 Census — a change of 629 people, or 7.2%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,461 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
Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the surrounding region and subsequent address validations conducted by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Gordon (NSW) has an estimated occupancy of approximately 9,424 individuals as of May 2026. This indicates an addition of 629 residents (7.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented 8,795 citizens. The calculation is based on the 9,424 resident count determined by AreaSearch through reviewing the ABS June 2025 release of estimated resident population statistics, combined with 64 verified new listings registered since the census. This head count yields a density of 2,460 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top fourth of all nationwide territories reviewed by AreaSearch.
The growth rate of 7.2% recorded for the suburb of Gordon (NSW) since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 district (4.4%) as well as the SA4 territory, positioning it as a local growth frontrunner. Incoming migration from overseas served as the almost exclusive catalyst for population expansion in the locality during recent times. Future projections utilized by AreaSearch integrate the 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia releases using 2022 as the base year, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government projections using a 2021 base year for any missing SA2 areas. Age group growth variables from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future expectations suggest the suburb of Gordon (NSW) will experience population gains tracking slightly below the median of areas analyzed by AreaSearch, with the locality projected to add 761 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2 models, representing an overall expansion of 8.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
106 new dwellings have been approved in Gordon (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 2.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 44, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals distributed from regional datasets, Gordon averages approximately 21 residential permits annually, with a total of 106 approvals registered over the 5 fiscal years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 41 approvals during the current FY-26 period. With an average of 4.4 new arrivals annually for each home built over the 5 fiscal years from FY-21 to FY-25, housing demand is outpacing supply, which commonly escalates price levels and buyer rivalry, while newly built projects carry an average valuation of $1,319,000, indicating that builders are focusing on high-end residential offerings.
Gordon registers approximately 61% of the per-capita residential construction volume of Greater Sydney, ranking in the 11th percentile of all analyzed locations across the country, which limits options for purchasers and sustains demand for pre-existing properties. This construction rate also tracks below the national norm, illustrating the mature stage of the suburb and potential regulatory planning constraints. Approvals for new projects comprise 64.0% stand-alone houses and 36.0% medium to high-density options, representing an expanding range of formats spanning different price levels, from large family residences to more affordable smaller options. Builders are currently constructing a higher share of traditional houses than the 45.0% census ratio would indicate, showing sustained demand for detached family living despite densification trends. The ratio of roughly 1345 residents per approved home highlights the mature nature of the locality. Projections for the future indicate that Gordon will gain 761 inhabitants by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. While construction activity is matching these growth forecasts, home buyers could face heightened competition as the local population increases.

5,032 residents of Gordon (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 5,218. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 64.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,233, 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 pool is characterized by high levels of tertiary education, particularly within the technology sector, accompanied by a low unemployment rate of 3.6% and a 2.2% increase in job growth over the preceding year, as compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,032, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.6% lower than the 4.1% rate recorded across Greater Sydney, whereas labor participation remained below average at 64.8% relative to the metropolitan figure of 69.1%. Census responses indicated that a substantial 60.9% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary employment fields for residents are professional & technical services, healthcare & social assistance, and finance & insurance. Local employment is highly concentrated in professional & technical fields, which employ 1.6 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, building trades account for only 3.9% of employment, compared to 8.6% across Greater Sydney. Census comparisons between local workers and resident workers suggest that this mostly residential suburb provides a limited number of local jobs. Based on AreaSearch calculations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional levels, employment rose by 2.2% and the labor pool expanded by 1.2% during the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.9 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. This compares to Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% increase in the labor force, and a minimal reduction in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand patterns in Gordon. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future changes. While national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these rates to the local employment mix suggests a potential growth of 7.5% over five years and 15.0% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 64 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,795 at the 2021 Census → 9,424 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.
