Detail

As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Hurlstone Park has an estimated population of approximately 5,413, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS regional demographic updates alongside post-Census validated address counts.

The estimate builds upon an ERP of 5,345 established after reviewing the ABS June 2025 data release, combined with 68 newly validated addresses recorded after the Census benchmark. The local population density stands at 4,510 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top 10% of areas reviewed nationally by AreaSearch and underlining the intense demand for local land.

The suburb's 8.2% expansion since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA4 region (6.7%) and state averages, establishing it as a regional growth frontrunner. International arrivals served as the principal driver of this expansion, accounting for roughly 80.0% of recent population additions. In forecasting demographic shifts, AreaSearch implements the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on 2022 benchmarks, turning to the NSW State Government's 2022 SA2 releases (benchmarked to 2021) for locations not captured in the federal model. Age-specific expansion rates from these series are applied across all districts for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking toward 2041, demographic gains in the suburb of Hurlstone Park are anticipated to track slightly below the national median, adding 554 persons according to aggregated SA2 modelling, which represents an overall increase of 9.0% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Hurlstone Park

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

22 new dwellings have been approved in Hurlstone Park over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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

An evaluation of ABS building approvals mapped to local boundaries indicates that Hurlstone Park has averaged roughly 4 residential approvals each year, delivering an estimated 22 dwellings across the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 6 approvals have been logged. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the area added an average of 6.7 new residents annually for each constructed dwelling, indicating that building activity trails population demand and likely creates elevated competition and upward price pressure. Average construction costs for new dwellings stand at $650,000, exceeding regional standards and demonstrating a preference for higher-specification builds.

Additionally, non-residential investment has been modest, with $304,000 in commercial approvals registered this financial year, reinforcing the suburb's residential character. Residential development volumes in Hurlstone Park are notably constrained, tracking 78.0% below the Greater Sydney per-capita baseline. Such subdued construction activity typically bolsters values and interest across established properties. This rate also sits below the national benchmark, reflecting both the established nature of the suburb and local planning controls. Recent dwelling approvals comprise 40.0% standalone houses and 60.0% medium- to high-density formats, a balance that delivers attainable purchasing options for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. A ratio of approximately 1181 people per approval highlights the mature nature of the locality. According to the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch, Hurlstone Park is projected to expand by 486 inhabitants by 2041. Should current construction rates persist, new dwelling completions could fall short of resident inflows, potentially intensifying buyer rivalry and reinforcing upward property value trajectories.

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 — 68 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,001 at the 2021 Census → 5,413 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL11970). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Hurlstone Park suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Hurlstone Park page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Hurlstone Park data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
