Maryville

Population growth drivers in Maryville are strong compared to national averages based on AreaSearch's ranking of recent, and medium to long-term trends

As of 1 November 2025, Maryville's population is estimated at around 1,775, reflecting a 6.2% increase from the 2021 Census figure of 1,671 people. This growth is inferred from AreaSearch's validation of new addresses and ABS ERP data released in June 2024, indicating a resident population of 1,765. The suburb's population density stands at 3,008 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile nationally according to AreaSearch assessments. Maryville's growth rate exceeded both the non-metro area (5.1%) and its SA4 region since the 2021 Census. Overseas migration contributed approximately 37.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, with all migration drivers being positive factors. Population projections for Maryville are based on ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 using a 2022 base year, and NSW State Government's SA2-level projections for areas not covered by this data, using a 2021 base year.

Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas from 2032 to 2041. Future population dynamics anticipate an above median growth in Australia's non-metropolitan areas, with Maryville expected to increase by 322 persons to 2041, reflecting a total gain of 22.9% over the 17 years.

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

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Maryville has experienced around 8 dwellings receiving development approval per year. An estimated 40 homes were approved over the past 5 financial years, between FY-21 and FY-25, with no approvals recorded so far in FY-26. On average, each dwelling constructed over these years brought in approximately 6.5 new residents annually.

This supply is substantially lagging demand, leading to heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures. New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost of $484,000. Additionally, $1.9 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded this financial year, reflecting the area's residential nature. Comparatively, Maryville has 13.0% less new development per person than the Rest of NSW and ranks among the 23rd percentile nationally when assessed for areas with new development. This limited supply supports demand for existing dwellings.

Recent construction comprises 17.0% detached dwellings and 83.0% medium to high-density housing, marking a significant shift from the current housing pattern of 62.0% houses. This focus on higher-density living creates more affordable entry points and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. The location has approximately 734 people per dwelling approval, indicating an established market. Population forecasts suggest Maryville will gain around 406 residents by 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If current construction levels persist, housing supply may lag population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
