This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Gregory Hills has an estimated population of approximately 11,746 residents, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS updates alongside post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 2021 Census count of 9,142 people, this represents an expansion of 2,604 people (28.5%). This adjustment builds upon an estimated resident total of 11,504 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 648 validated new addresses recorded after the Census. The suburb's density stands at 2,520 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the highest quartile among nationwide areas reviewed by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both the state mark of 7.3% and Greater Sydney, the 28.5% post-2021 Census increase establishes the suburb of Gregory Hills as a regional growth frontrunner. Net overseas migration and natural increase both remained positive, yet interstate arrivals served as the principal growth driver, accounting for roughly 72.0% of recent population gains. Demographic modeling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on 2022 figures, supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 series utilizing a 2021 base. Age-specific rates from these datasets project local trends across 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, demographic forecasts position the suburb of Gregory Hills in the nation's highest quartile for population growth, with aggregated SA2 figures projecting an increase of 3,235 persons by 2041, representing an overall expansion of 25.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,002 new dwellings have been approved in Gregory Hills over the past five years, an average of 200 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 17 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 151 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 85% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 65, well below 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
ABS building approval statistics analyzed across statistical areas indicate that Gregory Hills has sustained approximately 200 annual residential approvals, creating an estimated 1,002 dwellings throughout the previous 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 65 approvals have been documented. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 4.2 incoming residents arrived per completed home, creating an environment where residential demand outstrips supply and intensifies buyer competition, with newly constructed homes averaging an expected construction cost of $495,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $13.3 million during this financial year, underscoring ongoing non-residential investment.
Recent residential building approvals are distributed between detached houses at 85.0% and medium-to-high density formats (townhouses or apartments) at 15.0%, preserving suburban character while catering to purchasers seeking standalone dwellings. Generating roughly 148 people per dwelling approval, Gregory Hills exhibits typical greenfield expansion dynamics. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly baseline, long-term projections anticipate that Gregory Hills will add 2,993 residents by 2041. Should current construction trends continue, incoming residential supply will comfortably absorb projected demand, maintaining favorable market conditions for purchasers and potentially supporting growth above baseline estimates.

6,741 residents of Gregory Hills are employed, from a labour force of 6,851. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 82.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% 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 10,114, about 86% 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
Statistical area figures compiled by AreaSearch show that Gregory Hills possesses a skilled workforce with strong representation in essential industries, an unemployment level of merely 1.6%, and 1.0% annual employment growth. By March 2026, employed residents reached 6,741, while the jobless rate sat 2.5% below the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Labor force participation was exceptionally high at 82.4%, compared to 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census records showed 35.1% of workers operating from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Resident employment centers predominantly on health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Construction stands out with particular local prominence, employing a resident share 1.4 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 6.0% of local workers, trailing the 11.5% seen across Greater Sydney. Disparities between resident workers and local workplace counts highlight that the suburb is predominantly residential with limited internal job provision. AreaSearch's synthesis of ABS and SALM series reveals that over the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 1.0% alongside a 1.3% labor force expansion, nudging the unemployment rate up by 0.2 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, jobs and the labor pool both expanded by 1.9% while unemployment edged down slightly. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 industry projections provide context for future local labor demand across five-year and ten-year horizons. Nationally, overall employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these industry growth weightings to the local worker profile indicates that employment among Gregory Hills residents would increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (a basic illustrative weighting model that excludes 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 — 648 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,142 at the 2021 Census → 11,746 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.
