Sales Detail
Gregory Hills has an estimated 11,679 residents, up from 9,142 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,537 people, or 27.8%. Growth has averaged 6.7% a year over five years, faster than 94% of areas nationally. 646 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 72.0% of that increase. That puts 2,506 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
Based on evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Gregory Hills has a population estimated at approximately 11,679 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,537 people (27.8%) from the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 9,142 individuals. The change is calculated from the resident population of 11,501, estimated by AreaSearch after examining the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) along with an additional 646 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population level translates to a density ratio of 2,506 persons per square kilometer, placing the area in the upper quartile compared to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The growth of 27.8% since the 2021 census in the suburb of Gregory Hills outpaced the state (7.1%) and Greater Sydney, making it a regional growth leader. Population gains for the area were mostly driven by interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 72.0% of overall population gains during recent times, though all drivers, including natural growth and overseas migration, remained positive factors. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions not covered by this dataset, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age bracket from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Factoring in the projected demographic changes, a substantial population rise in the top quartile of national statistical areas is anticipated, with the suburb of Gregory Hills projected to expand by 3,184 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, which represents an overall increase of 25.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
849 new dwellings have been approved in Gregory Hills over the past five years, an average of 169 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 134 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 82% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 66, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, Gregory Hills has seen an average of roughly 169 new dwelling approvals annually, with an estimated 849 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 61 so far in FY-26. With an average of 3.8 people per year relocating to the area for every dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), housing supply is trailing demand by a wide margin, which typically results in intensified buyer competition and upward pricing pressure, while new homes are being built at an average value of $536,000, showing that developers are focusing on the premium market segment with upmarket properties.
Furthermore, $13.3 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, showing moderate levels of commercial development. Recent construction projects consist of 82.0% detached houses and 18.0% medium and high-density housing, maintaining the suburban character of the area through an emphasis on detached houses that attract buyers looking for space. The locality has approximately 104 people per dwelling approval, showing a growing market. Looking forward, Gregory Hills is projected to add 3,006 residents through to 2041 (starting from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). With current levels of construction, the supply of housing should sufficiently satisfy demand, producing favorable conditions for buyers and potentially allowing growth to outpace current projections.

6,677 residents of Gregory Hills are employed, from a labour force of 6,786. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 81.7%. 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 10,069, 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
Gregory Hills features a well-educated labor force with strong representation in essential services sectors, an unemployment rate of only 1.6%, and an estimated 0.9% employment growth over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 6,677 residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 2.5% lower than the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation is significantly above standard levels (81.7% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census responses show that a high 35.1% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdown measures should be taken into account.
Resident employment is concentrated in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The area shows a particularly high concentration in construction, with employment levels at 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented at 6.0% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. The heavily residential character of the area appears to limit local employment opportunities, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 0.9% while the labor force expanded by 1.1%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This compares to Greater Sydney, where employment grew by 1.9%, the labor force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia from May-25 provide additional context on potential future demand in Gregory Hills. These projections, spanning five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly by industry sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the employment mix in Gregory Hills suggests that local employment should rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localized population projections).

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 — 646 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,142 at the 2021 Census → 11,679 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL11780). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
