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 research of ABS demographic releases for the wider region alongside newly verified locations confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Grantham Farm has a projected population of approximately 5,567 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 1,898 people (51.7%) from the 2021 Census, which registered a headcount of 3,669 people. This shift is derived from a resident headcount of 5,108, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, plus an additional 477 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size represents a density of 1,537 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio found across national locales evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 51.7% expansion rate in the suburb of Grantham Farm since the 2021 census outpaced the state (7.1%) and Greater Sydney, establishing it as a regional growth leader. Population expansion here was mainly propelled by domestic relocations from other states, which accounted for roughly 72.0% of total demographic gains in recent times, though all growth components including natural increases and arrivals from overseas remained positive contributors. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 zone, published in 2024 using 2022 as the anchor year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 projections, published in 2022 using 2021 as the anchor year. Growth trajectories across age cohorts from these datasets are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead at demographic patterns, rapid expansion that ranks within the top 10 percent of national statistical zones is anticipated over the timeframe, with the suburb of Grantham Farm projected to add 6,425 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level estimates, representing a total increase of 107.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
416 new dwellings have been approved in Grantham Farm over the past five years, an average of 83 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 15 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 70 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 124, 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 ABS building permit statistics allocated from statistical area records, Grantham Farm has registered approximately 83 residential builds authorized per year, culminating in an estimated 416 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26114 permits have been documented. With an average of 4.9 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand outstrips new completions by a wide margin, which generally drives up values and intensifies buyer rivalry, while new homes carry a mean estimated construction cost of $481,000, indicating that building projects are oriented toward the higher-end premium market segment.
There was also $725,000 in commercial permits during this financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the area. In comparison to Greater Sydney, Grantham Farm records comparable building rates (per capita), maintaining a supply-demand balance matching nearby districts, although development momentum has decelerated recently. This level of activity sits substantially above the national average, showing strong interest from builders. Recent residential projects consist of 70.0% detached houses and 30.0% attached homes, with a shifting distribution of townhouses and apartments offering varied price brackets, ranging from family residences to cheaper compact options. This marks a substantial departure from the existing housing stock (currently 100.0% houses), indicating a decline in available development lots and reflecting changing lifestyle choices and price pressures. With roughly 83 people per approved dwelling, Grantham Farm displays the traits of a developing locality. Demographic projections indicate Grantham Farm will add 5,966 inhabitants by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly calculation by AreaSearch). If current construction volumes persist, the addition of new housing could fall behind population gains, which is likely to escalate buyer competition and support property values.

2,685 residents of Grantham Farm are employed, from a labour force of 2,774. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 75.1%. 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 4,748, 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
Grantham Farm is characterized by a highly qualified labor force, with strong numbers working in professional services, and an unemployment rate of just 3.2% according to AreaSearch compilations of statistical area datasets. As of March 2026, there are 2,685 local citizens in employment, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.9% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is exceptionally high (75.1% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney). Census figures show that a high 45.3% of workers performed their duties from home, although this should be viewed in light of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local citizens are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. In contrast, accommodation & food services is underrepresented at 3.8% compared to the regional benchmark of 5.8%. The locality appears to have a shortage of local job opportunities, as shown by the ratio of the Census working population relative to the resident workforce. Based on AreaSearch research of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from broader statistical regions, the 12-month period saw a contraction in the labor force of 2.0% alongside a 1.9% drop in jobholders, while unemployment remained virtually unchanged. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, and a minor reduction in unemployment. Long-term national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective demand trends in Grantham Farm. These projections, spanning five and ten-year periods, have been mapped to the local employment mix to project growth paths. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto Grantham Farm's occupational distribution suggests local employment would rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (note that this calculation is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

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 — 477 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,669 at the 2021 Census → 5,567 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.
