Sales Detail
Medowie has an estimated 12,109 residents, up from 10,879 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,230 people, or 11.3%. Growth has averaged 2.6% a year over five years, faster than 75% of areas nationally. 596 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 73.0% of that increase. That puts 271 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 examination of ABS demographic releases for the wider region and new locations confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Medowie has an estimated resident count of 12,109 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,230 people (11.3%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 10,879 people. This shift is calculated from a local population of 12,077, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 596 validated new addresses verified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 270 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for subsequent expansion.
The 11.3% growth rate in the suburb of Medowie since the 2021 census was faster than the Rest of NSW (4.9%) and the local SA3, establishing it as a regional growth leader. Population gains were mostly propelled by arrivals from other states, accounting for roughly 73.0% of the overall growth, though natural increase and international arrivals also contributed positively. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 units, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas where these figures are unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government at the SA2 level are substituted, published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline. Age-specific growth rates derived from these datasets are applied to all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic patterns suggest substantial growth within the upper tier of regional locations nationally, with the suburb of Medowie projected to add 3,552 persons by 2041 under these SA2 projections, representing a total gain of 29.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
781 new dwellings have been approved in Medowie over the past five years, an average of 156 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 115 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 71% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 90, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential construction approvals indicates that Medowie averages roughly 156 residential approvals annually, with 781 homes authorized over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 83 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. An average influx of 1.8 new residents per completed home over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) points to balanced supply and demand dynamics, yielding stable market conditions, though this has risen to 5.8 people per home over the last 2 financial years, suggesting heightened demand and possible underbuilding.
Local building initiatives carry an average construction cost of $369,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $65.9 million this financial year, demonstrating solid business-related construction momentum. Adjusted per resident, Medowie exhibits 127.0% higher development activity compared to the Rest of NSW, which should give purchasers plenty of options, even though building pace has slowed of late. This level sits significantly higher than the national standard, showcasing solid developer interest. Recent building consists of 71.0% detached houses and 29.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the low-density profile of the locality with a focus on houses to attract buyers seeking space. This represents a distinct shift from the existing housing stock (which stands at 97.0% houses), indicating a decline in available development sites and matching changing lifestyle choices and budget constraints. Approaching 217 people per approval, Medowie is showing signs of a changing market. Projecting forward, Medowie is set to add 3,520 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release). At the current pace of construction, new housing additions should comfortably satisfy demand, supporting favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially allowing expansion beyond current demographic forecasts.

5,462 residents of Medowie are employed, from a labour force of 5,593. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 58.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,196, 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
Medowie has a balanced labour market with representation across professional and manual occupations, strong employment in public service sectors, an unemployment rate of only 2.3%, and consistent jobs numbers over the previous year based on AreaSearch's regional data compilation. In March 2026, there are 5,462 working residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.8% below the Regional NSW rate of 4.1%, and participation levels matching the Regional NSW rate of 60.6%. Census data reveals that a notable 25.3% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure likely reflects the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, and construction. The community displays an especially high concentration of workers in public administration & safety, representing 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing employs only 0.8% of the local workforce, which is below the Regional NSW share of 5.3%. A comparison between the census local workforce and resident worker counts suggests limited local job opportunities. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from the surrounding region, the labour force declined by 0.6% and total employment fell by 0.0% over the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. This diverges from Regional NSW, where employment fell by 0.9%, the labour force dropped by 0.4%, and unemployment climbed by 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in Medowie. These forecasts, looking five and ten years ahead, have been aligned with the local workforce profile to project future trends. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Applying these industry projections to Medowie's workforce distribution suggests local employment will rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

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 — 596 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,879 at the 2021 Census → 12,109 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.
