Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Guildford (NSW) has an estimated population of approximately 25,617, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS demographic updates alongside post-Census address validations. This represents an addition of 1,526 people (6.3%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 24,091 people. Such growth stems from a resident base of 25,551 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 105 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With 4,356 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Guildford (NSW) registers a population density placing it in the top 10% of areas evaluated nationally by AreaSearch, underscoring intense local land demand.
The 6.3% expansion recorded since the census trails the statewide benchmark (7.3%) by only 1.0 percentage points, highlighting sound growth dynamics. Recent population increases were largely propelled by overseas arrivals, accounting for roughly 56.00000000000001% of overall net additions. Projections generated by the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied across SA2 zones by AreaSearch, while NSW State Government SA2 modeling issued in 2022 with a 2021 baseline covers any remaining areas. Age-specific growth trajectories derived from these datasets are extended to project figures from 2032 to 2041 across all regions. Forward-looking demographic estimates position the suburb of Guildford (NSW) above the national median for growth, with aggregated SA2-level figures anticipating an influx of 3,352 persons by 2041, translating to an overall rise of 12.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
489 new dwellings have been approved in Guildford (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 97 a year. That places the area in the 65th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 88 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 49% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 90, broadly in line with 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 ABS residential building approvals aggregated by AreaSearch from local statistical geographies, approximately 97 residential dwellings have been authorized annually in Guildford, aggregating to roughly 489 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, authorizations stand at 90 approvals. Across the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, new builds accommodated an average of 2.3 new residents annually per home, signaling steady underlying demand that bolsters real estate values, with average expected dwelling construction costs running at $463,000. Additionally, commercial development consents reached $56.0 million during this financial year, underscoring strong commercial investment in the locality.
Per capita residential construction in Guildford tracks at approximately half the level observed across Greater Sydney, positioning the locality at the 46th percentile across the country and restricting buyer options while reinforcing interest in established stock. Detached residences make up 49.0% of recent construction, while medium-to-high density formats such as townhouses and apartments account for 51.0%. This emphasis on higher-density housing facilitates attainable entry pricing and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-home buyers. Reflecting its mature residential character, the area registers approximately 322 people per dwelling approval. Projections based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch indicate Guildford will add 3,286 residents through to 2041. Ongoing construction volumes appear well-calibrated to satisfy incoming housing requirements comfortably, creating favorable purchasing conditions that could potentially enable residential expansion beyond current baseline population projections.

8,666 residents of Guildford (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 10,191. Unemployment sits at 15.0%, with participation at 50.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 21,832, 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
Guildford possesses a qualified local workforce spanning various industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 15.0% and an estimated yearly employment expansion of 3.5%, according to AreaSearch's statistical area syntheses. Working residents totaled 8,666 as of March 2026, though local unemployment exceeds the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1% by 10.8% and labor force engagement remains comparatively subdued (50.8% versus 68.9% regionally). Census records showed 30.0% of local workers performing their duties from home, an outcome influenced by prevailing Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. Local worker representation is heavily concentrated across construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.
The construction sector shows an especially high concentration, tracking at 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for only 6.2% of local workers, compared against 11.5% across the broader region. Comparison between Census workplace counts and resident numbers highlights the area's predominantly suburban character, offering relatively few jobs within its borders. Analysis of SALM and ABS data from AreaSearch, which combines figures from larger statistical regions, indicates that over the twelve months ending March 2026, employment rose by 3.5% and the labour force grew by 2.4%, leading to a 0.9 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% increase in employment and a matching 1.9% expansion in the labour force, resulting in only a slight drop in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia provides national employment forecasts from Mar-26 that can help gauge future demand in Guildford. These projections span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid onto Guildford's current employment structure to project growth trends. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to Guildford's occupational mix, the estimate points to a 6.5% rise in local employment over five years and a 13.5% increase over ten years. This calculation relies on a basic weighting method for demonstration and does not incorporate 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 — 105 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (24,091 at the 2021 Census → 25,617 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.
