Grafton has an estimated 11,042 residents, up from 10,563 at the 2021 Census — a change of 479 people, or 4.5%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 100 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 872 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS population updates alongside new addresses verified since the Census, the suburb of Grafton has an estimated population of approximately 11,042 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 479 people (4.5%) compared to the 10,563 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is deduced from an estimated resident population of 10,992 derived from the ABS's latest ERP figures (June 2025) plus 100 validated new addresses identified post-Census. At this count, the suburb of Grafton records a population density of 871 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks across AreaSearch study areas.
Furthermore, the 4.5% post-census rise in the suburb of Grafton trails the wider SA4 region (4.8%) by just 0.3 percentage points, highlighting sound growth dynamics. Inflow from interstate migrants served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 67.0% of recent population additions. Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, supplemented where needed by NSW State Government SA2 projections issued in 2022 based on 2021. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort-specific age expansion rates from these series are also incorporated. Looking ahead, population growth within the suburb of Grafton is projected to track slightly underneath the benchmark for non-metropolitan Australia; aggregated SA2 modeling indicates the suburb of Grafton will gain 1,106 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 16-year increase of 9.6%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
151 new dwellings have been approved in Grafton over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 33 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Grafton has maintained an annual average of roughly 30 residential approvals, amounting to an estimated 151 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 35 approvals have been lodged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the local population expanded by an average of 2.1 people each year for every new residential unit built, providing underlying demand that helps sustain property valuations, with newly approved homes carrying an average construction cost of $426,000. Additionally, commercial development momentum has been underscored by $62.3 million in commercial approvals recorded during this financial year.
Residential building activity in Grafton remains comparatively subdued, tracking 50.0% below the per-capita rate across Rest of NSW. While this constrained addition of new stock generally bolsters pricing and demand for existing houses, building activity has shown recent improvement. The rate of building is also lower than the national benchmark, reflecting a mature market that may face local development constraints. Approvals comprise 70.0% detached houses and 30.0% townhouses or apartments, delivering a balanced assortment of attached formats alongside traditional homes to suit diverse price points. The area records approximately 243 people per dwelling approval, underscoring its low-density urban footprint. Longer-term demographic forecasts project that Grafton will add 1,056 residents by 2041 based on AreaSearch's latest quarterly figures. Although local construction levels are tracking in line with projected expansion, prospective purchasers could encounter increased competition as the residential base expands.

4,345 residents of Grafton are employed, from a labour force of 4,625. Unemployment sits at 6.1%, with participation at 50.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,326, about 84% 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
Grafton's labor market displays an even distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles alongside substantial representation across essential service sectors, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 6.1% and a 2.0% annual increase in employment according to AreaSearch's regional data aggregation. As of March 2026, 4,345 residents are employed, though the local jobless rate sits 1.9% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, and labor force participation remains comparatively subdued at 50.9% versus 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census data also showed a modest 8.0% of local workers working remotely, an outcome potentially shaped by Covid-19 restrictions.
Health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety represent the three primary employment sectors for local workers. Public administration & safety shows particular local concentration, employing a proportion of residents 1.6 times that of the regional benchmark. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.0% of local jobs compared to 5.3% regionally. The balance between local working participants and overall resident workers suggests that this largely residential locality offers limited on-site employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch's compilation of broader ABS and SALM figures, the past 12-month timeframe recorded a 2.0% increase in employment alongside a 0.3% rise in the local labor pool, reducing the unemployment rate by 1.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW witnessed a 0.9% reduction in jobs, a 0.4% contraction in its workforce, and a 0.5 percentage points rise in unemployment. Long-term labor expectations are further informed by Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections. Nationally, jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across industries. When weighted against Grafton's specific sectoral structure, local employment is projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.8% over ten years (a weighted illustrative model that does not factor in localized 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 — 100 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,563 at the 2021 Census → 11,042 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 Aug 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.
