Detail
Following an examination of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside recent addresses verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Harrington Park is estimated to have a population of approximately 13,724 in May 2026. This indicates an addition of 392 residents (2.9%) since the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 13,332 people. The variation is derived from a resident population of 13,719, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP data from the ABS (June 2025) in addition to 28 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population level translates to a density of 1,715 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the average across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Throughout the past ten years, the suburb of Harrington Park has displayed steady expansion with a 3.1% compound annual growth rate, faster than the SA3 area. Population expansion in the area was mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 54.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for individual SA2 areas, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, a population increase slightly below the median of Australian statistical areas is anticipated, with the area projected to grow by 788 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total rise of 5.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
75 new dwellings have been approved in Harrington Park over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 1.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, broadly in line with that longer-run average.

Detail
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval statistics allocated from statistical area data, the suburb of Harrington Park has recorded approximately 15 new homes approved annually, with an estimated 75 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 16 so far in FY-26. Given an average of 9 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is significantly ahead of supply, which commonly exerts upward pressure on prices and intensifies competition among buyers, while new homes are being built at an average value of $498,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the premium market with high-end developments.
Additionally, $73,000 in commercial development approvals have been recorded this financial year, demonstrating the area's residential nature. Relative to Greater Sydney, construction activity in the suburb of Harrington Park is substantially lower, sitting at 75.0% below the regional average per person. This shortage of new properties typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. This rate is also lower than national levels, reflecting market maturity and pointing to potential development constraints. Recent construction is dominated by detached houses at 92.0%, with attached dwellings making up 8.0%, preserving the area's suburban character with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. At around 1443 people per approval, the suburb of Harrington Park presents as a mature, established area. Future projections show the suburb of Harrington Park adding 783 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Construction is maintaining a reasonable pace with projected growth, although buyers could encounter growing competition as population increases.

9,105 residents of Harrington Park are employed, from a labour force of 9,245. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 85.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,805, about 71% 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 suburb of Harrington Park features a skilled workforce, with the construction sector a particular standout in terms of representation, an unemployment rate of just 1.5%, and 7.7% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 9,105 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 2.6% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is well beyond standard (85.6% compared to Greater Sydney's 69.1%). Based on Census responses, a high 38.5% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Leading employment industries among residents comprise construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The area shows particularly strong specialization in construction, with an employment share of 1.6 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical shows lower representation at 6.3% versus the regional average of 11.5%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment increased by 7.7% while labour force increased by 8.0%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.3 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9%, labour force growth of 1.9%, with unemployment falling marginally. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within the suburb of Harrington Park. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to the suburb of Harrington Park's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 28 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,332 at the 2021 Census → 13,724 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 (SAL11866). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
