Mayfield East has an estimated 1,813 residents. That puts 2,924 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
Following assessment of ABS demographic data updates for the broader region and fresh residential locations verified by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Mayfield East's community size is calculated to stand at approximately 1,813 in May 2026. This indicates a rise of 19 people (1.1%) from the 2021 Census, which counted a population of 1,794 individuals. The adjustment is determined from the resident count of 1,813, computed by AreaSearch via scrutiny of the most recent ERP statistics published by the ABS (June 2025) along with an extra 10 validated new addresses after the Census date.
This level of residency corresponds to a density ratio of 2,924 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Mayfield East in the top quarter of countrywide areas analysed by AreaSearch. Local population expansion was mostly driven by arrivals from abroad, which served as the sole source of demographic expansion during recent intervals. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 zone, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this information, AreaSearch uses NSW State Government SA2 level forecasts, published in 2022 with 2021 as the baseline year. Growth dynamics by age bracket from these files are likewise applied to all districts for the years 2032 to 2041. Factoring in the expected demographic transitions, a population rise slightly under the median of non-metropolitan Australia is projected, with the suburb of Mayfield East set to expand by 217 persons by 2041 according to consolidated SA2 level forecasts, representing an overall rise of 12.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Property development is extremely quiet in Mayfield East, with only one dwelling approval annually, amounting to a total of 6 over the previous five years. These minimal building levels highlight the rural character of the locality, where construction is typically prompted by particular local housing requirements instead of broad market demand. It is worth noting that due to the low quantity of approvals, solitary building developments can majorly alter annual expansion and comparative statistics. Mayfield East exhibits significantly lower property development volumes than the Rest of NSW. Building activity rates also sit well under national averages.
Demographic projections indicate that Mayfield East is set to add 217 residents up to 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. If current building rates do not change, residential supply might fall behind demographic growth, which will likely heighten competition among buyers and support price increases.

1,059 residents of Mayfield East are employed, from a labour force of 1,122. Unemployment sits at 5.6%, with participation at 74.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,519, about 84% 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
A highly qualified labor force resides in Mayfield East, featuring strong representation in essential services fields, alongside a jobless rate of 5.6%, according to AreaSearch's compiled regional statistics. In March 2026, 1,059 residents were employed, while the jobless rate was 1.5% higher than the Regional NSW rate of 4.1%, and labor market involvement was significantly higher than typical levels, sitting at 74.8% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census records indicate that a notable 35.4% of workers operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, education & training, and accommodation & food services. The locality shows a distinct job concentration in healthcare & social assistance, with its share of employment reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is barely visible, accounting for a mere 0.5% of the Mayfield East workforce compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW. This mostly residential locality seems to provide few job opportunities within its own boundaries, as demonstrated by comparing the census count of working individuals against the resident population. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from wider geographic zones, the 12-month timeframe saw the workforce shrink by 0.2% while total employment fell by 2.1%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 1.9 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW recorded an employment drop of 0.9% and a workforce contraction of 0.4%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point increase. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia starting in May-25 can provide additional perspective on prospective future demand in Mayfield East. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local employment distribution to estimate growth trajectories. Although countrywide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary greatly among different fields. Overlaying these sector-specific forecasts onto the local employment distribution suggests that local employment will grow by 7.2% over five years and 14.8% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not account for local 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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,794 at the 2021 Census → 1,813 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 (SAL12544). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
