Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with new addresses verified since the Census, the suburb of Miranda (NSW) has an estimated population of approximately 20,105 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 2,163 people (12.1%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 17,942 people. That calculation builds upon an ERP figure of 20,012 derived from the ABS release in June 2025 alongside 441 validated new addresses cataloged after the Census date. With 4,295 persons per square kilometer, the locality places within the highest 10% nationwide on AreaSearch density rankings, underlining intense demand for local real estate.
Furthermore, the 12.1% expansion recorded by the suburb of Miranda (NSW) since the 2021 census outperformed both the wider SA3 and the SA4 region (5.1%), positioning it at the forefront of regional expansion. Net arrivals from other states served as the primary growth contributor, accounting for roughly 48.0% of recent population additions, with natural increase and overseas migration also delivering positive contributions. Projections compiled by Geoscience Australia and the ABS from 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 divisions, while unlisted sectors utilize NSW State Government SA2 projections issued in 2022 against a 2021 baseline. Age-specific growth metrics from these models are further integrated across all localities for the years 2032 to 2041. Considering these forward-looking patterns, demographic expansion for the suburb of Miranda (NSW) is set to surpass the median across AreaSearch assessment zones, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an increase of 3,462 persons to 2041, culminating in overall growth of 16.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
634 new dwellings have been approved in Miranda (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 126 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 128 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 14% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 181, running ahead of 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals across statistical geographies indicates that Miranda registers roughly 126 residential dwelling approvals annually, totaling an estimated 634 homes approved across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 181 permitted during FY-25 to date. Because approximately 4 new residents have arrived annually for each home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), residential construction falls well short of influx levels, placing upward pressure on property pricing amidst heightened buyer demand; meanwhile, average build costs sit at $585,000, slightly higher than the broader region and pointing toward superior build standards.
Commercial activity is similarly buoyant, with $92.0 million worth of commercial approvals authorized in the current financial year. On a per-capita basis, building activity in Miranda matches Greater Sydney, fostering balanced conditions consistent with the surrounding metropolitan market. Recent approvals comprise 86.0% medium and high-density housing alongside 14.0% standalone homes, creating entry-level opportunities that cater to first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. This contrasts with the current dwelling landscape of 40.0% houses, reflecting constrained land supply for traditional housing and addressing shifting preferences for diversified, attainable living formats. Overall, the market remains dynamic, registering roughly 146 people per dwelling approval. Forecasts show that Miranda will add 3,369 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Current development volume corresponds smoothly with long-term housing requirements, sustaining a balanced real estate landscape free from sharp pricing imbalances.

10,829 residents of Miranda (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 11,281. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 67.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch demonstrate that Miranda features a qualified talent pool with prominent professional services presence, registering an unemployment rate of 4.0% alongside solid annual employment conditions. Across the area as of March 2026, 10,829 residents are currently employed, the jobless rate is 0.1% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, and participation closely tracks the wider metropolitan benchmark of 68.9%. Census records also show 39.1% working remotely from home, though pandemic-related lockdown measures during that period must be noted. Retail trade, construction, and health care & social assistance constitute the leading employment sectors for local residents.
Construction exhibits exceptional local strength, with workforce concentration reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 9.0% of resident workers, trailing the 11.5% registered across Greater Sydney. While the area provides local employment options, the ratio of Census working population to residents suggests a substantial volume of outward commuting. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM statistical data indicates that in the twelve months to March 2026, employment grew by 0.5% against a 0.7% expansion in the labour force, pushing the unemployment rate up by 0.2 percentage points; by contrast, Greater Sydney experienced 1.9% employment growth and a 1.9% increase in the labour force, with unemployment edging down slightly. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding forward demand in Miranda. Projecting these industry-specific five and ten-year national estimates against the local labor profile—which project wider Australian employment to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—suggests Miranda's local job base would rise by 6.8% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate localized demographic 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 — 441 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (17,942 at the 2021 Census → 20,105 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.
