Llandilo

An assessment of population growth drivers in Llandilo reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

As of 1 November 2025, the estimated population of the Llandilo statistical area (SA2) is around 1,645 people. This represents a growth of 27 individuals since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 1,618 people in the area. AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population as of June 2024 was 1,636, with an additional 4 validated new addresses identified since the Census date contributing to this increase. The population density in Llandilo is approximately 127 persons per square kilometer. Over the past decade, from 2015 to 2025, the area has exhibited a compound annual growth rate of 12.5%, outperforming its broader statistical area (SA3). Natural growth accounted for roughly 43% of the population gains during recent periods, with other factors such as interstate and overseas migration also contributing positively.

AreaSearch's projections for Llandilo are based on ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts released in 2024, using a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government SA2-level projections from 2022 with a base year of 2021 are utilized. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. By 2041, Llandilo is projected to experience significant population growth, with an increase of 791 persons expected based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total increase of 67.4% over the 17-year period.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Llandilo according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Llandilo has had approximately one dwelling receiving development approval per year over the past five financial years, totalling around five homes. No approvals have been recorded so far in FY-26. On average, 119.2 people moved to the area annually for each dwelling built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating supply is significantly lagging demand. This has likely led to heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures.

Commercial approvals total $163,000 this financial year, suggesting a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Greater Sydney, Llandilo shows substantially reduced construction activity (89.0% below regional average per person), which typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. This activity is also lower than the national average, reflecting market maturity and possible development constraints. All new constructions in the area have been attached dwellings, offering affordable entry pathways and attracting downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This marks a significant shift from current housing patterns (99.0% houses), suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. The estimated population per dwelling approval is 3815 people, reflecting the area's quiet development environment. Population forecasts indicate Llandilo will gain 1,108 residents by 2041.

If current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
