This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Maryville has an estimated 1,861 residents, up from 1,671 at the 2021 Census — a change of 190 people, or 11.4%. Growth has averaged 2.7% a year over five years, faster than 76% of areas nationally. That puts 3,154 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
Analysis of ABS population figures for the surrounding region combined with new address validation indicates the suburb of Maryville has an estimated 1,861 residents as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 190 residents (11.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 1,671 individuals. This trend is derived from a resident population of 1,860 calculated after reviewing the June 2025 ERP release by the ABS, supplemented by 19 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The local population density stands at 3,154 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quarter of national areas analyzed.
The 11.4% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of NSW (4.9%) and the broader SA4 region, positioning the suburb as a leader in regional growth. The main driver of this expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 37.0% of the overall population rise in recent times, though interstate arrivals and natural increase also made positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 region are based on the 2024 release from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, utilizing a 2022 baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this information, projections from the NSW State Government's 2022 release with a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth trends derived from these sources are projected forward to the years 2032 through 2041. Looking at future demographic patterns, population growth is projected to run slightly below the median for non-metropolitan locations, with the suburb of Maryville expected to add 238 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level estimates, representing a 12.7% cumulative increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
37 new dwellings have been approved in Maryville over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 4.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Evaluation of ABS building approvals across statistical boundaries indicates that the area averages approximately 7 residential approvals each year, summing to an estimated 37 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. During the current financial year of FY-26, no development approvals have been logged. With an average of 6.3 new residents entering the area for every completed home between FY-21 and FY-25, residential construction is falling short of demand, a scenario that typically intensifies buyer rivalry and elevates prices. The average cost of new residential projects stands at $484,000, indicating that builders are targeting the higher-end market with premium housing options.
Furthermore, commercial approvals valued at $1.3 million have been registered in the current financial year, pointing to a market that remains heavily focused on residential properties. Per capita building approvals show that the local area achieves approximately 75% of the construction rate seen across the Rest of NSW, ranking in the 9th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide, which restricts choices for buyers and channels demand toward established properties. Meanwhile, recent construction has consisted entirely of semi-detached and attached options. This concentration on higher-density housing provides more accessible price points for buyers and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time purchasers. This marks a notable shift from the established housing stock, where standalone houses comprise 62.0% of properties, reflecting a scarcity of development land and responding to changing buyer preferences and budget considerations. The ratio of residents to dwelling approvals stands at approximately 1847 to one, indicating a mature housing market. Projections indicate that the suburb of Maryville will gain 237 additional residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations. While local residential construction matches long-term growth forecasts, buyers could face increased competition as the population increases.

1,135 residents of Maryville are employed, from a labour force of 1,165. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 73.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,701, about 91% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 local workforce is characterized by high levels of education, with a strong presence of professionals and an unemployment rate of only 2.6%, according to aggregated regional statistics. As of March 2026, there are 1,135 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate sits 1.5% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%. Workforce participation is unusually strong at 73.5%, compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a high proportion of employed residents (38.7%) worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures. The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and professional and technical services.
The concentration of workers in healthcare and social assistance is particularly pronounced, running at 1.4 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, the agricultural, forestry, and fishing sectors employ only 0.5% of the local workforce, which is below the Regional NSW average of 5.3%. Although local businesses provide jobs, a comparison of Census employment data with the resident population suggests a significant proportion of residents travel outside the area for work. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region reveals that over the 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 0.6% while total employment fell by 1.3%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.8 percentage points. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% decline in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future local demand. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although nationwide employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary considerably by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local occupational profile suggests employment could rise by 7.4% over five years and 15.2% over ten years, assuming a direct industry weighting without adjusting for local population shifts.

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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,671 at the 2021 Census → 1,861 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 (SAL12528). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
