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 since the Census, Maryville's population is estimated at around 1,947 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 276 people (16.5%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,671 people. 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 June 2024 and an additional 19 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,300 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Maryville's growth of 16.5% since the 2021 census exceeded the non-metro area (5.7%), along with the SA3 area, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 37.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including interstate migration and natural growth were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Anticipating future population dynamics, an above median population growth of Australia's non-metropolitan areas is projected, with the area expected to increase by 323 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 12.1% in total over the 17 years.
