Detail

This represents an expansion of 1,974 people (53.8%) compared to the 3,669 people recorded in the 2021 Census.

Consequently, population density stands at 1,558 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Grantham Farm higher than typical locations evaluated across the nation by AreaSearch.

Surpassing both New South Wales (7.3%) and Greater Sydney benchmarks, the suburb of Grantham Farm's 53.8% surge establishes it as a regional frontrunner. Although natural increases and overseas arrivals contributed positively, interstate migration served as the core growth engine, delivering approximately 72.0% of recent population gains. In developing regional forecasts, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting point, substituting NSW State Government SA2 modeling issued in 2022 using 2021 as a base where necessary. Age-specific rates from these datasets are applied to model local projections between 2032 and 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Grantham Farm is projected to experience top-decile national expansion, adding 6,554 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 calculations, which translates to a substantial 106.4% cumulative rise across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Grantham Farm

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

357 new dwellings have been approved in Grantham Farm over the past five years, an average of 71 a year. That places the area in the 98th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 68 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 72% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 121, 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

Analysis of ABS building approvals compiled by AreaSearch indicates that Grantham Farm averages approximately 71 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 357 sanctioned dwellings across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 121 logged to date in FY-25. Because an average of 5.9 incoming residents arrived each year for every dwelling completed between FY-21 and FY-25, demand markedly outstrips local construction, intensifying buyer competition and exerting upward pressure on real estate pricing, while upcoming residences reflect an average construction cost of $494,000. Meanwhile, non-residential building approvals stand at $725,000 for the current financial year, highlighting a subdued commercial development pipeline.

Grantham Farm's per-capita residential building velocity closely tracks the broader Greater Sydney market, preserving balance alongside surrounding precincts despite an uptick in recent construction. On a nationwide scale, these rates are noticeably elevated, signaling robust developer interest in the precinct. The breakdown of upcoming supply shows detached houses making up 72.0% and medium-to-high density attached options accounting for 28.0%, preserving a low-density suburban atmosphere attractive to family buyers wanting room while simultaneously diversifying from the existing stock (entirely houses). This shift reflects changing buyer budgets, evolving lifestyle preferences, and dwindling greenfield land supply. With approximately 49 residents per building approval, the local property market is firmly in an expansion phase. Long-term population projections show Grantham Farm welcoming an additional 6,006 residents through 2041 based on the latest quarterly AreaSearch estimates. If current building rates do not accelerate, new housing completions may fall behind resident influx, further tightening local supply, bolstering home values, and escalating buyer competition.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Grantham Farm

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,730 residents of Grantham Farm are employed, from a labour force of 2,821. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 76.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 4,809, about 85% 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

Workforce metrics compiled by AreaSearch show that Grantham Farm possesses a well-credentialed labor pool with substantial representation across professional occupations and an unemployment rate of merely 3.2%. By March 2026, 2,730 residents were employed, while local unemployment sat 0.9% beneath the Greater Sydney figure of 4.1%, accompanied by an elevated labor force participation rate of 76.6% compared to 68.9% regionally. Additionally, 45.3% of workers reported working remotely during the Census, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at that time should be factored into this figure. Local workers are predominantly engaged across education & training, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.

Conversely, the food & accommodation sector employs only 3.8% of local workers, lagging behind the 5.8% seen across Greater Sydney. Comparing resident workers against jobs located within the boundary indicates that local employment opportunities remain limited. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures across the year to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 1.6% alongside an identical 1.6% drop in employed residents, leaving the unemployment level essentially unchanged. Across Greater Sydney, by contrast, employment increased by 1.9%, the labor force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment edged downward. Projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide forward visibility on future employment trends. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% across ten years, trajectories vary notably across individual industries. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against Grantham Farm's occupational distribution suggests local employment potential could rise by 6.9% across five years and 14.1% over a decade (noting this is a weighted baseline extrapolation rather than a localized population-adjusted forecast).

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 — 478 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,669 at the 2021 Census → 5,643 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL11743). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Grantham Farm suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Grantham Farm page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Grantham Farm data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
