Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Moorebank is estimated to have a population of around 13,576, according to AreaSearch analysis integrating ABS regional updates and post-Census address validations. This represents an increase of 2,168 people (19.0%) compared to the 11,408 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is determined from an estimated resident population of 13,469 established through the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 360 validated new addresses added since the Census date. The suburb of Moorebank exhibits a population density of 1,094 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 19.0% expansion recorded since the 2021 census outstripped the state mark of 7.3% as well as Greater Sydney, positioning the suburb of Moorebank among regional growth leaders. The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion has been overseas migration, accounting for approximately 56.99999999999999% of recent population gains. Projections utilized by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 utilizing 2022 as a base year, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 releases from 2022 with a 2021 base year. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, age-cohort expansion rates from these aggregations are applied across locations. Looking ahead, the suburb of Moorebank is forecasted to achieve demographic growth placing it above the median of assessed statistical areas, with aggregated SA2-level modeling anticipating a gain of 1,961 persons up to 2041, translating to an overall rise of 13.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
691 new dwellings have been approved in Moorebank over the past five years, an average of 138 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 168 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 31% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 266, 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
ABS building approval figures examined by AreaSearch indicate that Moorebank averages approximately 138 approved dwellings each year, totaling an estimated 691 residential approvals across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), including 266 recorded to date in FY-25. A steady pace of 2.6 new residents per year has been added for every home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), highlighting robust underlying demand. Expected construction costs for newly approved homes average $393,000, sitting below regional benchmarks and pointing to cost-effective residential options. In addition, the local commercial sector demonstrates considerable momentum, with $298.9 million in commercial approvals recorded this financial year.
Per capita construction rates in Moorebank surpass Greater Sydney by 104.0%, placing the locality substantially above national norms and demonstrating pronounced builder and developer confidence. Medium- and high-density planning is prominent, with new approvals comprising 69.0% attached dwellings and 31.0% detached dwellings. This shift toward higher-density stock offers attainable options for first-home purchasers, downsizers, and investors, contrasting markedly with the established built environment of 82.0% houses. Such transformation highlights tighter land supply while addressing changing lifestyle requirements and housing affordability needs, with a ratio of around 52 people per approval underscoring an expanding urban precinct. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, demographic projections anticipate Moorebank will add 1,854 residents leading up to 2041. Ongoing residential building activity appears well-positioned to satisfy this anticipated demand, creating favorable market conditions for prospective purchasers and potentially enabling expansion above baseline demographic forecasts.

7,293 residents of Moorebank are employed, from a labour force of 7,477. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 72.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% 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 15,989, about 118% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local labor market in Moorebank features a qualified workforce distributed across multiple sectors, registering an unemployment rate of only 2.5% alongside an estimated 6.2% employment growth across the previous year per AreaSearch aggregations. As of March 2026, 7,293 employed residents were recorded, with local joblessness sitting 1.7% under the 4.1% rate seen across Greater Sydney. Labor force participation remains sound at 72.3%, exceeding the Greater Sydney benchmark of 68.9%. Additionally, Census metrics revealed that 43.6% of workers conducted their duties from home, though pandemic-related conditions during that survey period should be noted.
Resident employment is centered primarily within health care & social assistance, retail trade, along with education & training. The community exhibits a notable concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, capturing a workforce share 1.5 times that of the wider region. Conversely, professional & technical services account for 7.3% of local employment, trailing the 11.5% registered across Greater Sydney. Furthermore, a Census ratio of 0.9 workers per resident reflects a robust base of local job opportunities. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM regional datasets indicates that over the year to March 2026, Moorebank recorded a 6.2% increase in employment alongside a 6.4% expansion in the labor force, resulting in a 0.2 percentage points uptick in unemployment. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment and labor supply each rise by 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decline in joblessness. Long-term industry trajectories from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future labor dynamics. Across Australia, workforce size is projected to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though trends vary considerably by field. When weighted against the occupational distribution of Moorebank, these models project local job counts to rise by 6.4% across five years and 13.3% across ten years (representing an illustrative sectoral weighting that excludes localized demographic projections).

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 Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,408 at the 2021 Census → 13,576 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.
