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 November 2025, the estimated population of Llandilo is around 1,772, reflecting a 9.5% increase from the 2021 Census figure of 1,618 people. This growth was inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of the resident population at 1,745 in June 2024, based on the latest ABS ERP data release and four validated new addresses since the Census date. The population density is approximately 137 persons per square kilometer. Llandilo's growth exceeded both its SA4 region (5.5%) and state averages. Natural growth contributed about 43% of overall gains, with other factors like interstate migration also positive. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024, using 2022 as the base year.

For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections from 2022 with a 2021 base year are used. Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. By 2041, Llandilo's population is forecasted to increase by 784 persons, reflecting a 55% total increase 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 allocated from statistical area data shows Llandilo had virtually no dwelling approvals in recent years. Specifically, between FY21 and FY25, an estimated 4 homes were approved, with none so far in FY26.

This results in an average of 149 new residents arriving per year per dwelling constructed over the past five financial years. Compared to Greater Sydney's regional average, Llandilo records significantly lower building activity, at 91.0% below the regional average per person. Recent building activity consists entirely of attached dwellings, indicating a trend toward denser development. This change reflects reduced availability of development sites and shifting lifestyle demands and affordability requirements.
