Sales Detail
Holmesville has an estimated 1,544 residents, up from 1,413 at the 2021 Census — a change of 131 people, or 9.3%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 908 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
Analyzing ABS demographic updates for the wider region and new address logs verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Holmesville is calculated to have approximately 1,544 inhabitants as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 131 residents (9.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 1,413 individuals. The shift is derived from the resident count of 1,543, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and an additional 79 validated new addresses added after the Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 908 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with the typical standards observed across areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 9.3% expansion rate of the suburb of Holmesville since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of NSW (4.9%) and the SA4 region, positioning it as a local growth frontrunner. Natural increase was the primary catalyst for population growth in the area, accounting for roughly 82.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 projections, published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline. The growth trajectories by age bracket from these aggregates are also applied to all localities for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic changes, projections point to above-median population expansion for areas outside capital cities, with the suburb of Holmesville anticipated to add 296 residents up to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level forecasts, representing a rise of 19.1% overall across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
66 new dwellings have been approved in Holmesville over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, running ahead of 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's evaluation of ABS building approval records mapped from statistical area statistics, the locality has averaged about 13 new home approvals annually, compiling an estimated 66 residences over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 16 approvals have been documented. With an average of 1.8 residents moving to the locality each year for every dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the market displays a healthy equilibrium between supply and demand, fostering steady conditions, while new dwellings are built with an average expected construction cost of $428,000—slightly above regional standards—indicating a focus on quality builds.
Furthermore, $762,000 in commercial building approvals have been logged during the current financial year, highlighting the dominant residential profile of the locality. When contrasted with the Rest of NSW, the locality displays comparable per capita building rates, sustaining a market equilibrium aligned with the broader region. New construction projects comprise 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% medium-to-high density housing, with an expanding proportion of townhouses and apartments offering choices across various price ranges, from family properties to more economical compact designs. This marks a clear departure from the current housing stock (which stands at 99.0% houses), indicating a shrinking pool of developable land and reflecting evolving lifestyles alongside the demand for more varied, economical housing types. Recording around 68 people per approval, the locality exhibits characteristics of a growing area. Looking ahead, the locality is projected to add 295 residents through to 2041 (computed from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projections). At ongoing construction paces, the volume of housing should comfortably satisfy demand, establishing positive conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion that outstrips current predictions.

786 residents of Holmesville are employed, from a labour force of 829. Unemployment sits at 5.2%, with participation at 64.7%. 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 1,153, about 75% 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 locality possesses a balanced labor force distributed across professional and industrial roles, with the building sector showing exceptionally strong representation, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.2%, according to AreaSearch's aggregation of local statistical data. As of March 2026786 local citizens are employed, with the unemployment level sitting 1.1% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while workforce participation is relatively typical (64.7% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). According to Census statistics, a moderate 13.9% of employees performed their duties from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind.
The principal sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The locality exhibits a clear occupational concentration in construction, with its employment share reaching 1.5 times the regional norm. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.5% of the local workforce, trailing the Regional NSW average of 5.3%. The heavily residential character of the neighborhood appears to provide sparse local job openings, as evidenced by comparing the Census working population against the resident count. According to AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regional divisions, the labor force expanded by 0.7% over the 12 months leading to March 2026, while total employment fell by 0.9%, leading to a rise in the unemployment rate of 1.5 percentage points. This differs from Regional NSW, which saw a 0.9% job contraction, a 0.4% reduction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in the locality. These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been aligned with the local occupation distribution to estimate future growth trends. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary widely across different fields. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local employment profile indicates that employment in the locality should rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this is a direct weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local demographic 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 — 79 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,413 at the 2021 Census → 1,544 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.
