Sales Detail
Hassall Grove has an estimated 4,453 residents, up from 4,401 at the 2021 Census — a change of 52 people, or 1.2%. That puts 3,650 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
Determined from evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Hassall Grove has a population calculated at approximately 4,453 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 52 people (1.2%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 4,401 people. The shift is derived from the resident population of 4,441, estimated by AreaSearch after reviewing the most recent ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 19 validated new addresses following the Census date.
This size of population translates to a density ratio of 3,650 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of domestic settings analysed by AreaSearch. The 1.2% expansion in the suburb of Hassall Grove since the census is within 2.4 percentage points of the SA3 area (3.6%), displaying competitive expansion characteristics. Growth in the local population was mostly fueled by offshore migration, which accounted for roughly 53.0% of total population increases over recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, AreaSearch utilizes projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Anticipated growth rates by age bracket from these files are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic trajectories, forecasts over this timeframe point to a reduction in the overall population, with the suburb of Hassall Grove expected to contract by 262 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is projected in certain age cohorts, particularly the 75 to 84 bracket, which is expected to rise by 207 people. Additional details are available in the age section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
89 new dwellings have been approved in Hassall Grove over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 4.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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 AreaSearch analysis of building approvals from the ABS, distributed from statistical area statistics, Hassall Grove has maintained an average of approximately 17 new home approvals each year, with a total of 89 residences approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 18 thus far in FY-26. Because the population decreased during the preceding timeframe, residential supply has remained sufficient to meet demand, establishing a balanced market with plentiful options for purchasers, while new residences are constructed at a mean cost of $254,000—under the regional norm—pointing to more economical housing alternatives.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals valued at $919,000 have been logged this financial year, reinforcing a mainly residential focus. Compared to Greater Sydney, Hassall Grove exhibits 56.0% greater building activity (on a per-capita basis), providing buyers with more options. New construction projects consist of 88.0% standalone houses and 12.0% medium and high-density dwellings, preserving the suburban character of the locality with a focus on family residences designed for those wanting room. With approximately 286 people for each approval, Hassall Grove shows characteristics of a low density area. As the population is forecast to remain flat or contract, Hassall Grove is likely to experience less pressure on housing, which could open up possibilities for prospective purchasers.

2,552 residents of Hassall Grove are employed, from a labour force of 2,681. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 76.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,267, about 73% 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
Hassall Grove is characterized by a capable workforce employed across a variety of fields, with an unemployment rate of 4.8% and an estimated 2.1% increase in employment over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch compilations of statistical area data. In March 2026, 2,552 residents were employed, while the jobless rate was 0.7% higher than the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1%, and workforce engagement was significantly elevated (76.3% compared to Greater Sydney's 69.1%). Census details indicate a high proportion of 25.6% of working residents performed their jobs from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local citizens are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and transport, postal & warehousing. The locality displays a particularly strong concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, where staffing levels are 1.8 times the regional norm. In contrast, professional & technical services have a smaller presence at 4.2% compared to the regional norm of 11.5%. The heavily residential community appears to provide restricted local work options, as shown by comparing the number of employed residents to the local working population in the Census. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics gathered from broader statistical regions, during the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed residents grew by 2.1% while the workforce expanded by 1.5%, which lowered unemployment by 0.6 percentage points. For comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9%, the labour force grow by 1.9%, and unemployment drop slightly. Job forecasts across the nation from Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide extra context regarding future labor demand in Hassall Grove. These forecasts, which span five-year and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local workforce breakdown to model growth trajectories. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ widely across industries. Projecting these industry-level patterns onto Hassall Grove's job distribution suggests local employment will rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes 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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,401 at the 2021 Census → 4,453 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 (SAL11873). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
