DemographicsPopulation Growth in Kenthurst

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Kenthurst has an estimated 5,205 residents, down from 5,313 at the 2021 Census — a change of 108 people, or 2.0%. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 97% of areas nationally. That puts 114 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

Based on evaluation of ABS demographic releases for the wider region, alongside newly confirmed addresses verified by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Kenthurst has an estimated residency of approximately 5,205 as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 108 residents (2.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 5,313 individuals. This shift is derived from an estimated local population of 5,204, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP figures (June 2025) in addition to 20 validated new addresses added since the Census date. Such population levels translate to a density of 114 persons per square kilometer, offering substantial personal space and potential capacity for future growth.

The area's population growth was primarily driven by overseas migration, which served as almost the exclusive source of population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 sectors, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 territories excluded from this dataset, projections from the NSW State Government's 2022 release (with a 2021 baseline) are used. Projections of growth by age category from these groupings are likewise applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at population projections moving forward, growth is expected to align with the lower quartile of statistical regions evaluated by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Kenthurst projected to add 183 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level forecasts, marking an overall rise of 3.5% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Kenthurst

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

74 new dwellings have been approved in Kenthurst over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, well below 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

According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building permit statistics allocated from statistical areas, Kenthurst averages approximately 14 approved residential dwellings annually. A total of 74 homes received approval over the last 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), with 3 approved during the current FY-26. Because the region has seen its population shrink, the volume of new supply has likely matched demand, presenting buyers with adequate options, while new homes average $1,097,000 in construction costs, indicating that building activity is oriented toward high-end, premium projects. Additionally, commercial permits valued at $16.2 million have been logged this financial year, showing moderate commercial building activity.

Compared to Greater Sydney, Kenthurst generates roughly 75% of the per capita construction volume, placing it in the 21st percentile among all analyzed regions nationwide, which points to relatively constrained options for buyers and bolsters demand for existing properties. This rate also sits below the national median, highlighting the established profile of the community and pointing to potential zoning constraints. Residential construction comprises 88.0% standalone houses and 12.0% attached dwellings, preserving the local low-density style with a focus on spacious family residences. A ratio of 746 residents per single building approval reflects a quiet, low-intensity development landscape. Looking to the future, Kenthurst is projected to gain 182 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). At current rates of building, the addition of new housing should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling growth beyond the current 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 — 20 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,313 at the 2021 Census → 5,205 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL12108). 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 Kenthurst 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 Kenthurst 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 Kenthurst 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
