Detail
Based on analysis of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Moorebank has an estimated population of around 13,560 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,152 residents (18.9%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded 11,408 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 13,469, estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and an additional 380 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level translates to a density of 1,093 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical averages across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 18.9% growth in the suburb of Moorebank since the 2021 census outpaced the state (7.1%) as well as Greater Sydney, positioning it as a regional growth leader. Population expansion in the area was chiefly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 56.99999999999999% of total population gains during recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this data, AreaSearch utilizes projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 with 2021 as the baseline. Growth rates by age group from these datasets are also applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead at demographic trends, population growth is projected to exceed the median of national statistical regions, with the suburb of Moorebank expected to add 2,133 residents by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a 15.1% overall expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
844 new dwellings have been approved in Moorebank over the past five years, an average of 168 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 182 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 35% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 258, 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 analysis of ABS building approval figures, distributed from statistical area datasets, indicates that Moorebank averages about 168 residential property approvals yearly, with an estimated 844 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 237 so far in FY-26. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), each dwelling has averaged 2.6 new residents annually, indicating solid demand that supports property values, while new dwellings carry an average construction value of $401,000. Furthermore, $298.9 million in commercial development approvals have been documented this financial year, showing robust local commercial activity.
Compared to Greater Sydney, Moorebank exhibits 89.0% more development activity per person, providing purchasers with a broader selection. This sits well above the national average, reflecting high developer confidence in the locality. Recent building activity consists of 35.0% detached dwellings and 65.0% medium and high-density housing. This emphasis on higher-density options offers more budget-friendly entry points and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a notable shift from historical housing patterns (where houses currently make up 82.0%), pointing to reduced availability of vacant land and responding to changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability demands. The area averages approximately 83 people for every dwelling approval, pointing to a growing market. Demographic projections indicate Moorebank is set to add 2,042 residents by 2041 (using the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch). Given current construction volumes, housing supply is expected to sufficiently satisfy demand, yielding favorable conditions for buyers and potentially allowing growth to outpace current projections.

7,399 residents of Moorebank are employed, from a labour force of 7,583. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 73.3%. 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 15,913, about 117% 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
Moorebank has a qualified workforce with representation across varied industries, showing a jobless rate of only 2.4% and an estimated 6.6% growth in employment over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 7,399 residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 1.7% lower than the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation is standard (73.3% relative to 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census figures show that a high 43.6% of residents worked from home, although this should be viewed in light of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. The locality exhibits a particularly high concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, with employment levels at 1.5 times the regional average. In contrast, professional & technical roles are less represented at 7.3% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. A ratio of 0.9 workers per resident at the time of the Census indicates plenty of local employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from wider statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment rise by 6.6% and the labor force expand by 6.8%, leading to an unemployment increase of 0.1 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9%, a labor force expansion of 1.9%, and a slight drop in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 provide additional context on potential future demand in Moorebank. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to Moorebank's employment structure suggests local employment is poised to rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population 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 — 380 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,408 at the 2021 Census → 13,560 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.
