Sales Detail
Maryville has an estimated 1,869 residents, up from 1,671 at the 2021 Census — a change of 198 people, or 11.8%. Growth has averaged 2.8% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. That puts 3,168 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population releases alongside new addresses validated post-Census, the suburb of Maryville records an estimated population of approximately 1,869 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 198 people (11.8%) compared to the 1,671 residents tallied in the 2021 Census. Such movement is derived from an estimated resident base of 1,865 following ABS ERP data from June 2025 in conjunction with 20 validated new addresses identified since the Census. With a density ratio reaching 3,167 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Maryville places within the highest national quartile analyzed by AreaSearch.
Its 11.8% expansion rate post-2021 Census outpaced both the Rest of NSW (5.1%) and the wider SA4 region, positioning it as an area pacesetter. Overseas migration served as the foremost catalyst, generating roughly 37.0% of recent population additions, while interstate arrivals and natural increase likewise delivered positive contributions. For demographic forecasting across each SA2, AreaSearch integrates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets using 2022 as the base year, turning to NSW State Government SA2 releases from 2022 (benchmarked to 2021) wherever gaps exist. Age-specific trajectories derived from these models are also applied across all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Maryville is projected to register population gains slightly underneath the national regional median, adding 239 persons by 2041 according to consolidated SA2 figures, which translates to an overall rise of 12.6% across the 16-year horizon.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
20 new dwellings have been approved in Maryville over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.6 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
AreaSearch's review of ABS residential approvals indicates that development consent has been granted to roughly 4 dwellings annually in Maryville, yielding approximately 20 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Throughout FY-25 to date, no approvals have been logged. With an influx averaging 46.4 new residents per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 through FY-25), incoming demand heavily outstrips newly built stock, typically fueling upward price momentum and heightened purchaser rivalry. In addition, commercial approvals valued at $1.3 million have been recorded in the current financial year, underlining a market tilted toward residential uses.
Residential development in Maryville is considerably subdued compared to the Rest of NSW, lagging regional per-capita activity by 89.0%. This restrained building pipeline generally underpins solid demand and value retention across established stock. Building rates also sit below national benchmarks, signaling local market maturity alongside possible development hurdles. Meanwhile, recent building work has consisted entirely of medium and high-density formats. This shift toward higher-density stock offers accessible price points catering to downsizers, first-home buyers, and property investors. It contrasts with the prevailing built landscape (where separate houses make up 62.0%), illustrating a scarcity of broadacre sites alongside evolving buyer lifestyles and affordability considerations. Averaging roughly 1847 people per approval, the locality displays the hallmarks of a fully established urban pocket. Projections indicate that Maryville will expand by 235 residents through to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Under prevailing construction volumes, incoming residential supply could face difficulties keeping pace with population additions, likely intensifying market competition and underpinning property values.

1,149 residents of Maryville are employed, from a labour force of 1,180. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 73.9%. 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 1,704, 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
Maryville benefits from an exceptionally qualified labour pool featuring substantial professional services representation and a low unemployment rate of 2.6%, according to AreaSearch's statistical area data aggregations. Employed residents numbered 1,149 as of March 2026, while local joblessness sat 1.5% beneath the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, accompanied by an elevated participation rate of 73.9% (well above 60.6% in Regional NSW). In Census returns, working from home was cited by 38.7% of local workers, a figure potentially influenced by Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment fields for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, education & training, as well as professional & technical disciplines.
A notable concentration exists within health care & social assistance, where the local workforce share stands at 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for a minimal footprint, engaging only 0.5% of Maryville's workers relative to 5.3% across Regional NSW. Although employment exists within the precinct, comparing Census work destination counts to resident numbers suggests substantial outward commuting among the local workforce. According to AreaSearch's compilation of broader statistical area metrics from SALM and ABS sources, the preceding 12-month span recorded a 0.3% contraction in the labour force and a 1.1% dip in employment, pushing the unemployment rate up by 0.8 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW registered a 0.9% drop in employment alongside a 0.4% decline in its labour force, lifting joblessness by 0.5 percentage points. Future local demand trends can be evaluated against Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from Mar-26. These five- and ten-year forecasts were applied across Maryville's specific industry profile to estimate future trajectories. Against national projections of 6.6% growth over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral performance varies considerably. Weighting these projections to Maryville's workforce distribution indicates potential local job expansion of 7.4% across five years and 15.2% across ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized population changes).

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 Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,671 at the 2021 Census → 1,869 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 Aug 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.
