Granville (NSW) has an estimated 18,738 residents, up from 16,716 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,022 people, or 12.1%. Growth has averaged 1.9% a year over five years, faster than 78% of areas nationally. 263 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 72.0% of that increase. That puts 5,577 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 investigations of ABS demographic releases covering the surrounding region, alongside address checks verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Granville (NSW) has a population calculated at approximately 18,738 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 2,022 residents (12.1%) from the 2021 Census, when the head count stood at 16,716 individuals. This shift is deduced from a resident population of 18,729, which AreaSearch estimated using the latest ABS ERP figures from June 2025 combined with 263 verified new addresses registered post-Census. With these numbers, the local density stands at 5,576 persons per square kilometer, placing the location in the highest 10% of areas analyzed nationwide by AreaSearch, pointing to extremely sought-after land.
The 12.1% expansion rate of the suburb of Granville (NSW) since the 2021 census outpaced the state growth of 7.1% as well as Greater Sydney, establishing the locality as a regional leader in population growth. This upward trajectory was chiefly powered by arrivals from overseas, who made up roughly 72.0% of the population expansion in recent times. AreaSearch is incorporating projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area, data published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas outside this dataset, AreaSearch relies on SA2 level projections from the NSW State Government, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are applied across all areas spanning the years 2032 to 2041. The suburb of Granville (NSW) is projected to experience a substantial population rise, adding 6,145 residents by 2041 according to combined SA2-level forecasts, which corresponds to a 32.8% overall increase across the 16 year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
213 new dwellings have been approved in Granville (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 32% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 88, 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
Based on analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building permit statistics compiled from regional datasets, Granville has registered a yearly average of approximately 42 new residential approvals, translating to about 213 total dwellings over the past 5 financial years. For the current FY-26 period, 81 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of 7.8 new occupants per year for each constructed dwelling across the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping new supply, a trend that commonly forces prices upward and intensifies buyer rivalry, even as new properties are constructed with an average value of $458,000—a figure slightly above regional averages—highlighting a focus on premium builds.
Furthermore, commercial approvals reached $15.8 million this financial year, showing a moderate rate of business-related construction. Recent residential construction activity consists of 32.0% single-family houses and 68.0% multi-unit housing options. This emphasis on higher-density builds provides more accessible price points for buyers and caters well to downsizers, property investors, and first-time purchasers. With roughly 256 people for each dwelling approval, Granville displays an evolving property market. Demographic projections indicate that Granville is set to welcome an additional 6,136 citizens by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly dataset). Given current building velocities, residential supply might struggle to keep pace with this influx, which could intensify competition among buyers and underpin upward price trends.

10,320 residents of Granville (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 11,033. Unemployment sits at 6.5%, with participation at 68.9%. 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 15,006, about 80% 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
Granville features a highly qualified labor force across various industries, maintaining an unemployment rate of 6.5% and achieving an estimated job growth rate of 4.0% over the previous year, according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. As of March 2026, there are 10,320 employed citizens, while the local jobless rate sits 2.3% above the 4.1% average for Greater Sydney, and the labor participation rate matches the Greater Sydney benchmark of 69.1%. Census records show a high proportion of employed residents working from home at 26.9%, though this figure should be interpreted alongside the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
Local workers are predominantly employed in retail trade, health care & social assistance, and accommodation & food. The workforce displays a particularly strong concentration in health care & social assistance, which employs workers at 1.3 times the regional average rate. On the other hand, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for 7.4% of employment compared to 11.5% across the broader region. The census comparison of the local working population against the resident workforce suggests that this mainly residential district offers limited local employment opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional levels shows that the job market expanded by 4.0% over the 12-month timeframe, while the labor force grew by 3.7%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9%, a labor force expansion of 1.9%, and a minor decrease in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context regarding future demand trends in Granville. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local employment data to project future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion rates vary widely across different sectors. Applying these sector-specific forecasts directly to the local industry profile indicates that Granville's employment base would grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this calculation is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not incorporate local demographic 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 — 263 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (16,716 at the 2021 Census → 18,738 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.
