Kemps Creek has an estimated 2,642 residents, up from 2,121 at the 2021 Census — a change of 521 people, or 24.6%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years, faster than 93% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 84.0% of that increase. Density is about 77 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
As of Aug 2026, the population of the suburb of Kemps Creek is estimated at roughly 2,642, drawing upon AreaSearch assessments of broader regional ABS population updates alongside new addresses verified post-Census. When compared against the 2021 Census count of 2,121 people, this represents an expansion of 521 people (24.6%). This adjustment stems from an estimated resident population of 2,142 established by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 58 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With a population density of 76 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample space per resident and substantial scope for future expansion.
The 24.6% expansion achieved by the suburb of Kemps Creek since the 2021 census outpaced both the state (7.3%) and Greater Sydney, establishing the area as a regional growth leader. Inward interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 84.0% of recent population additions, though positive contributions were also registered across all other drivers, including natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections for each SA2 area released by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (utilising 2022 as the base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch, with NSW State Government SA2 figures released in 2022 (using 2021 as the base year) applied where coverage is absent. These combined models also provide the age-specific growth rates utilised across all localities for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, demographic forecasts position the suburb of Kemps Creek within the nation's top 10 percent of statistical areas for expansion, with aggregated SA2 modelling pointing to an increase of 1,678 persons by 2041, culminating in an overall expansion of 44.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
68 new dwellings have been approved in Kemps Creek over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch, derived from statistical area allocations, indicates that Kemps Creek has averaged roughly 13 residential approvals annually, accumulating an estimated 68 homes over the past 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 28 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.6 new residents added annually for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), construction volume and buyer demand remain balanced to foster stable market fundamentals. Meanwhile, new residential builds exhibit an average construction value of $742,000, underscoring a builder focus on high-end, premium housing.
In addition, commercial development momentum remains robust, evidenced by $645.4 million in non-residential approvals logged during this financial year. Detached houses accounted for 93.0% of recent residential building activity, while townhouses or apartments made up the remaining 7.0%, reinforcing the low-density character of the neighbourhood and catering to buyers seeking expansive living space. A ratio of around 96 people per approval further underlines the emerging development profile of Kemps Creek. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projections, Kemps Creek is forecast to gain 1,178 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist without accelerating, residential supply could fall short of incoming demographic growth, tightening buyer competition and reinforcing upward price momentum.

746 residents of Kemps Creek are employed, from a labour force of 770. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 43.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 3,332, about 126% 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
Kemps Creek maintains an evenly distributed workforce across white and blue-collar occupations, featuring strong concentration in the building sector and a low jobless rate of 3.1%, according to AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 746, with unemployment tracking 1.0% below the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, whereas local labour force participation (43.2%) trailed behind the Greater Sydney figure of 68.9%. Census records show 34.7% of local workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Resident employment is primarily centered around construction, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and health care & social assistance.
Local sector concentration is exceptionally pronounced in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the local workforce share reaches 22.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is comparatively small, engaging only 5.1% of the workforce in Kemps Creek versus 11.5% throughout Greater Sydney. An observed Census ratio of 0.8 local jobs per resident demonstrates a solid surrounding employment base. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM statistical data shows that across the year leading to March 2026, Kemps Creek saw its labour force contract by 14.8% alongside a 15.0% reduction in total employment, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion in its labour force, and a slight decline in unemployment. National occupational projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future labour demand in Kemps Creek. When applied to the local workforce distribution across five- and ten-year horizons, these industry forecasts point to an increase in local employment of 5.8% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, compared to nationwide projections of 6.6% and 13.7% respectively (representing an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes localized population changes).

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 — 58 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,121 at the 2021 Census → 2,642 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.
