Sales Detail
Holsworthy has an estimated 5,542 residents, down from 5,657 at the 2021 Census — a change of 115 people, or 2.0%. Density is about 29 people per 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic releases alongside post-Census address validations, the suburb of Holsworthy records an estimated resident count of 5,542 as of Aug 2026. This indicates a contraction of 115 people (2.0%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 5,657 people. This updated figure builds upon the 5,528 residents estimated through AreaSearch's review of the ABS ERP update from June 2025 in combination with 24 validated new addresses added post-Census. With a density of 29 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers considerable room for its inhabitants.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth engine recently, accounting for roughly 59.0% of all population increases across recent periods. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset keyed to a 2022 baseline across SA2 boundaries, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 modeling anchored to 2021 where necessary. Age-specific trajectory rates derived from these models have been mapped across all locations spanning 2032 to 2041. Broad demographic indicators place the suburb of Holsworthy within the nation's lower growth quartile, with aggregated SA2 estimates pointing to an addition of 193 persons through to 2041, representing an overall expansion of 3.2% across the 16-year horizon.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
82 new dwellings have been approved in Holsworthy over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 3.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that Holsworthy averages approximately 16 residential development consents annually, totalling 82 approved dwellings across the last 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 through FY-25), with 13 approved during FY-25 to date. Recent population declines have kept residential supply well aligned with local demand, supporting balanced market conditions and ample buyer selection, with newly approved dwellings carrying an average expected construction cost of $418,000 in line with regional figures. Additionally, non-residential activity has seen $16.0 million in commercial approvals recorded during this financial year, reflecting a moderate pace of commercial building.
Recent residential building approvals consist of 53.0% detached houses alongside 47.0% medium and high-density formats, demonstrating a growing emphasis on attached configurations that provide diverse price points ranging from expansive family residences to compact options. This marks a clear pivot away from the historical housing composition of 80.0% houses, underlining constrained land availability as well as evolving lifestyle requirements for varied and attainable housing. A quiet planning environment is further highlighted by an average ratio of 460 people per approved dwelling. According to the latest quarterly forecasts from AreaSearch, Holsworthy is slated to add 177 residents by 2041. Existing residential construction momentum appears well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, offering supportive conditions for purchasers and establishing a baseline that could facilitate expansion beyond current projections.

4,115 residents of Holsworthy are employed, from a labour force of 4,169. Unemployment sits at 1.3%, with participation at 94.6%. 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 4,538, about 82% 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
Holsworthy features a highly educated labour pool with substantial representation in professional services, maintaining an unemployment rate of only 1.3% after recording 5.0% employment growth over the preceding year per AreaSearch aggregations. As of March 2026, 4,115 residents are actively employed, keeping local unemployment 2.8% below the 4.1% seen across Greater Sydney, while workforce participation reaches an exceptional 94.6% against Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census data highlighted a substantial 43.4% of workers operating from home, though this reflected prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are predominantly engaged across public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical fields.
Workforce concentration is particularly pronounced in public administration & safety, where the suburb's employment share reaches 4.0 times the broader metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 8.2% of resident employment, trailing Greater Sydney's 11.5%. A comparison between resident workers and Census workplace figures indicates that internal employment opportunities within the immediate area remain limited. Review of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12-month timeframe indicates that local employment expanded by 5.0% while the labour pool grew by 5.1%, nudging unemployment up by 0.1 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 1.9%, the labour force grew by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. Looking forward, national industry forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 project overall employment growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against Holsworthy's resident occupational base suggests potential local job expansion of 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, representing an illustrative proportional application that does not incorporate 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 — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,657 at the 2021 Census → 5,542 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.
