Maryville

Population growth drivers in Maryville are above average based on AreaSearch's ranking of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, as of Feb 2026, Maryville's population is estimated at around 1,949. This reflects an increase of 278 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,671. The change was inferred from the resident population of 1,899 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in Jun 2024 and an additional 19 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,303 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Maryville's growth of 16.6% since the 2021 census exceeded the Rest of NSW (5.9%). Population growth was primarily driven by overseas migration contributing approximately 37.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Future population trends indicate a growth of 317 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 11.7% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Maryville recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers indicates Maryville has had approximately 9 new homes approved annually over the past five financial years, totalling around 45 homes. In FY-26 so far, 1 approval has been recorded. This results in an average of 5.8 new residents per year for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating demand significantly exceeds supply. New properties are constructed at an average expected cost of $484,000, suggesting a focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.

This financial year has seen $1.3 million in commercial approvals registered, reflecting the area's residential nature. Compared to Rest of NSW, Maryville maintains similar development levels per person, consistent with broader market balance. Recent construction comprises 14.0% detached houses and 86.0% medium and high-density housing, marking a significant shift from existing patterns (currently 62.0% houses). This trend may indicate diminishing developable land availability and respond to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. Maryville has approximately 524 people per dwelling approval, reflecting an established area.

According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Maryville is expected to grow by 228 residents through to 2041. With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
