Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Ingleburn has an estimated 15,981 residents, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with 544 validated new addresses added since the Census date. This represents an addition of 717 people (4.7%) compared to the 15,264 persons counted at the 2021 Census, building upon an interim resident count of 15,783 established from the June 2025 ABS ERP figures. The suburb of Ingleburn features a density of 1,295 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the benchmark among nationally evaluated localities. While falling within 2.6 percentage points of the state benchmark (7.3%), the 4.7% expansion reflects solid momentum, supported primarily by overseas migration, which generated around 66.0% of recent population additions.
Long-term modelling for the suburb of Ingleburn applies the ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base), supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 series (based on 2021), with age-specific rates applied to all districts between 2032 and 2041. These demographic outlooks indicate that the suburb of Ingleburn is set to achieve above-median national growth, gaining 2,957 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 estimates, which represents a cumulative increase of 17.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
272 new dwellings have been approved in Ingleburn over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 70 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 50% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 127, 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
Residential planning records analyzed by AreaSearch indicate an average of roughly 54 dwellings receiving planning permits annually in Ingleburn. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), a cumulative 272 homes gained approval, with 127 permits granted during FY-25 to date. Because construction over these past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) generated an average of merely 0.7 new residents per year per dwelling built, new residential volume is keeping up with or outstripping local absorption, enhancing options for buyers and accommodating faster growth than forecast. The average expected construction cost for new residences sits at $430,000, aligning with regional standards, alongside $11.4 million in commercial development approvals recorded this financial year demonstrating continuous commercial investment.
Per-capita construction in Ingleburn equates to around 69% of the Greater Sydney level, ranking the area in the 74th percentile nationally despite recent local acceleration. Approved residential building activity is split evenly at 50.0% detached dwellings and 50.0% attached dwellings. This shift toward medium-density formats provides relatively affordable options for entry-level buyers, downsizers, and investors. Contrasting sharply with the established local profile of 67.0% houses, this trend highlights reduced greenfield capacity alongside shifts in lifestyle preferences and affordability requirements, with approximately 153 people per approval reflecting low-density characteristics. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release, Ingleburn is forecast to add 2,759 residents by 2041. While ongoing residential building activity remains aligned with projected expansion, prospective buyers might encounter increased competition as the local community continues to enlarge.

8,327 residents of Ingleburn are employed, from a labour force of 8,863. Unemployment sits at 6.0%, with participation at 69.2%. 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 17,312, about 108% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 employment landscape in Ingleburn features a highly educated labor pool with strong representation across key service industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 6.0% and an estimated annual employment growth of 6.9%, according to aggregated data from AreaSearch. By March 2026, the local labor force included 8,327 individuals actively employed, with the unemployment rate sitting at 1.9 percentage points higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation remained aligned with the Greater Sydney figure of 68.9%. Census data indicates that a substantial 31.2% of residents engaged in remote work arrangements, although this proportion may have been influenced by conditions during the Covid-19 lockdown period.
The primary employment fields for the local workforce consist of health care & social assistance, retail trade, and transport, postal & warehousing. Transport, postal & warehousing shows notable concentration locally, capturing a workforce share 1.8 times the broader metropolitan standard. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for 5.9%, trailing the regional proportion of 11.5%. A Census ratio of 0.7 workers per resident indicates an above-average local availability of positions. AreaSearch evaluated data from SALM and ABS, which were combined from larger statistical regions, to show that during the year to March 2026, employment rose by 6.9% and the labour force grew by 7.9%, leading to an unemployment increase of 0.9 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney saw employment growth of 1.9%, labour force expansion of 1.9%, and a slight decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia provides national employment forecasts starting from Mar-26 to help anticipate future demand in Ingleburn. These forecasts span five and ten year periods and were aligned with the local employment profile to project growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sector growth varies considerably. When these industry projections are applied to Ingleburn's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.3% over five years and by 13.4% over ten years. This calculation uses simple weighting for illustrative purposes only and 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 — 544 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,264 at the 2021 Census → 15,981 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.
