Gymea Bay has an estimated 7,241 residents, up from 6,983 at the 2021 Census — a change of 258 people, or 3.7%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. That puts 3,042 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 for the wider region alongside newly verified residential locations from AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Gymea Bay has a calculated residency of approximately 7,241 in May 2026. This indicates an addition of 258 individuals (3.7%) from the 2021 Census, which registered a population count of 6,983. This variation is derived from a local resident base of 7,227, estimated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP publication, with an extra 45 validated new addresses added since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 3,042 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quarter of Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The post-Census expansion of 3.7% in the suburb of Gymea Bay is within 1.3 percentage points of the broader SA4 territory (5.0%), showing competitive expansion. The main driver of local demographic gains was overseas migration, which made up roughly 56.00000000000001% of all population increases recently. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 zone, published in 2024 with a baseline of 2022. For locations where this data is unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. Anticipated growth rates for specific age groups from these sources are likewise applied to all locations from 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic patterns, the suburb of Gymea Bay is projected to experience growth slightly below the nationwide median, expanding by 451 residents by 2041 according to collective SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 6.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
151 new dwellings have been approved in Gymea Bay over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That is 4.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 32 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 31% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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
Based on AreaSearch reviews of ABS residential building approvals distributed from statistical geographic units, Gymea Bay has averaged approximately 30 residential development approvals yearly, sum total of 151 properties over the last 5 financial years. In the current period of FY-26, 18 approvals have been documented. With a ratio of 1.3 individuals moving to the area per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), local housing demand matches supply closely, supporting balanced market dynamics. New properties are constructed with a mean valuation of $522,000, indicating that builders are targeting the higher-end market segment with premium projects.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $2.3 million this financial year, highlighting that the neighborhood remains predominantly residential. Relative to Greater Sydney, Gymea Bay registers roughly 63% of the residential building approvals per capita, placing it in the 60th percentile of analyzed localities across the nation. Current residential construction consists of 31.0% standalone houses and 69.0% medium-to-high density options like apartments and townhouses. This preference for denser housing forms offers more accessible entry points for buyers, attracting individuals looking to downsize, real estate investors, and first-home buyers. This pattern marks a distinct shift from the existing housing stock (which stands at 90.0% standalone houses), indicating a scarcity of raw land and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. With a ratio of roughly 252 residents per approved dwelling, Gymea Bay exhibits standard low-density characteristics. Long-term projections indicate that the suburb of Gymea Bay is on track to add 437 new residents by 2041, measured from the latest quarterly figures compiled by AreaSearch. In light of ongoing construction trends, the volume of incoming housing supply should comfortably satisfy this demand, maintaining favorable conditions for prospective purchasers and potentially allowing population growth to outpace projected figures.

4,124 residents of Gymea Bay are employed, from a labour force of 4,203. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 72.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,529, about 76% 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
The local labor pool is characterized by high levels of education, with a strong presence in professional fields, a jobless rate of a mere 1.9%, and steady workforce numbers over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of regional data. By March 2026, there are 4,124 employed locals, while the local unemployment rate sits 2.2% lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Labor force participation is healthy, standing at 72.6% compared to the Greater Sydney rate of 69.1%. Census responses indicate that a significant 48.6% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related movement restrictions.
The principal sectors employing residents are building and construction, healthcare and social assistance, along with professional and technical services. There is a particularly high concentration of workers in the construction sector, running at 1.6 times the metro-wide average. Conversely, healthcare and social assistance plays a smaller role locally, employing 11.9% of working residents compared to 14.1% across the wider region. Comparing the number of local jobs to the size of the resident workforce suggests that this mainly residential suburb offers few employment positions within its own boundaries. AreaSearch evaluated SALM and ABS data that were combined from larger statistical regions for the period ending March 2026. Employment levels remained unchanged at 0.0% while the labour force expanded by 0.4%, which led to an increase in unemployment of 0.3 percentage points. This outcome differs from the experience in Greater Sydney, where employment grew by 1.9%, the labour force also grew by 1.9%, and unemployment decreased slightly. Jobs and Skills Australia released national employment forecasts in May-25 that can help understand future demand in Gymea Bay. These forecasts span five and ten year intervals and have been aligned with the local employment structure to project growth trajectories. National employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sectoral growth rates are applied to Gymea Bay's current employment composition, local employment is projected to grow by 6.8% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years. This calculation uses a basic weighting method for demonstration 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 — 45 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,983 at the 2021 Census → 7,241 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.
