Sales Detail
Moore Creek has an estimated 3,468 residents, up from 2,868 at the 2021 Census — a change of 600 people, or 20.9%. Growth has averaged 4.3% a year over five years, faster than 91% of areas nationally. 360 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 66.0% of that increase. Density is about 32 people per 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
According to ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region combined with new address validations performed by AreaSearch after the Census, the population of Moore Creek is estimated to be approximately 3,468 in May 2026. This represents a gain of 600 people (20.9%) compared to the 2,868 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 3,454 calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside an additional 360 validated new addresses added since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 31 persons per square kilometer, indicating residents enjoy significant space.
With a 20.9% expansion rate since the 2021 census, Moore Creek outpaced the broader SA4 region (3.6%) and the Rest of NSW, establishing itself as a local growth frontrunner. This population rise was chiefly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 66.0% of the total demographic growth over recent times, though all contributing factors, including natural increase and overseas arrivals, remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, projections compiled by the NSW State Government in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied. Demographic expansion rates by age cohort derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, locations outside capital cities are anticipated to experience growth above the median, with this specific area projected to add 518 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2-level forecasts, representing a total increase of 14.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
284 new dwellings have been approved in Moore Creek over the past five years, an average of 56 a year. That places the area in the 86th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 16 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 52 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 65% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 78, 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
AreaSearch evaluation of ABS building approval statistics mapped from local statistical divisions shows that Moore Creek recorded an average of roughly 56 new residential approvals annually, totaling an estimated 284 dwellings approved during the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 72 during the current FY-26. Over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), there was an average of 2.3 new residents per year for each home, indicating robust demand that underpins local property markets, with new residential projects carrying an average building cost of $390,000.
Moore Creek displays 299.0% more residential construction activity per capita than the Rest of NSW, offering prospective buyers plenty of options. This volume of building is notably higher than the nationwide average, demonstrating strong developer engagement. Current construction consists of 65.0% separate houses and 35.0% semi-detached properties or units, showing a growing mix of attached housing styles that supply options across different price points, ranging from large family residences to smaller, more affordable options. This represents a clear shift from the historical housing stock (which stands at 100.0% houses), indicating a decline in vacant developable land and reflecting changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability pressures. Having approximately 49 people per building approval, Moore Creek displays the typical traits of an expanding growth corridor. Demographic projections indicate Moore Creek is on track to add 504 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. Under current building trends, the supply of new dwellings is expected to easily keep pace with demand, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially supporting population increases above current estimates.

2,099 residents of Moore Creek are employed, from a labour force of 2,107. Unemployment sits at 0.4%, with participation at 83.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 2,485, about 72% 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
Moore Creek possesses a highly capable labor force with strong representation in vital service sectors, an unemployment rate of only 0.4%, and an estimated job growth of 0.6% over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch compilations of statistical data. In March 2026, there were 2,099 employed residents, and the unemployment rate sat 3.7% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while labor force participation was exceptionally high at 83.2% compared to the 60.6% recorded across Regional NSW. Census data indicates a moderate 18.6% of working residents operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. The community exhibits a strong concentration in education & training, employing staff at a rate 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, accommodation & food services is underrepresented, accounting for 5.1% of employment compared to the regional benchmark of 7.8%. The mismatch between the census day working population and the resident labor force suggests that the local area offers few jobs internally. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data reveals that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, the number of employed residents rose by 0.6% while the active labor force grew by 0.7%, resulting in a virtually unchanged unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% reduction in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Nationwide employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context for future labor demand in Moore Creek. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against the local industry mix to estimate future employment patterns. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary widely across different fields. Weighting these national industry trends against the local labor profile suggests Moore Creek's employment should rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, though this calculation is a direct weighting projection for demonstration purposes and does not account for localized 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 — 360 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,868 at the 2021 Census → 3,468 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.
