Sales Detail
Mount Annan has an estimated 12,217 residents, up from 11,784 at the 2021 Census — a change of 433 people, or 3.7%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. 144 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,194 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
Drawing on investigations of ABS demographic updates for the wider region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count of the suburb of Mount Annan is calculated to be approximately 12,217 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 433 people (3.7%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 11,784 individuals. This shift is derived from an estimated local population of 12,201 calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 144 validated new addresses added since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1,194 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical values observed across regions analyzed by AreaSearch.
Natural increase was the primary contributor to demographic expansion in the area, accounts for roughly 65.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes demographic projections for each SA2 region published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch employs 2022 projections from the NSW State Government based on 2021 numbers. Projected growth rates by age cohort from these data sources are applied to all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Moving forward, demographic growth is expected to align with the lowest quartile of national statistical areas, with aggregated SA2 projections indicating the suburb of Mount Annan will add 157 persons by 2041, representing a total increase of 1.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
49 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Annan over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 0.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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
An evaluation by AreaSearch of ABS building approvals allocated from broader statistical areas indicates that the suburb of Mount Annan averages approximately 9 approved residential properties annually, with an estimated total of 49 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 14 approvals have been logged. Since an average of 6.7 individuals moved to the area for every home built over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand heavily outstrips new supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while newly built properties average $308,000 in construction costs, mirroring regional patterns.
Commercial development approvals reached $102,000 this financial year, pointing to a primary focus on residential construction. Compared to Greater Sydney, building activity in the suburb of Mount Annan is substantially lower, sitting 82.0% below the regional per capita average. This minimal volume of new construction generally supports demand and asset values for existing homes. This rate is similarly below national benchmarks, reflecting the established state of the locality and pointing to possible planning restrictions. Recent builds consist of 75.0% separate houses and 25.0% townhouses or apartments, which preserves the traditional suburban feel focused on spacious family living. This represents a notable shift from the established housing stock, which is currently 96.0% houses, showing a decrease in available development sites and responding to changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. With roughly 1432 people for every residential approval, the suburb of Mount Annan represents a highly established market. Projections indicate that the suburb of Mount Annan will add 141 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Judging by current construction trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting population growth above current forecasts.

7,916 residents of Mount Annan are employed, from a labour force of 8,112. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 84.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,247, about 76% 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
The suburb of Mount Annan possesses a skilled workforce with strong representation in essential service industries, an unemployment rate of only 2.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 7.5% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. Job holders numbered 7,916 as of March 2026, while the local unemployment rate sits 1.7% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and labor participation is exceptionally high at 84.5% compared to 69.1% for Greater Sydney. Census records show that a significant 34.5% of workers operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce is highly specialized in construction, with a employment concentration 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 5.5% of local workers, compared to 11.5% across Greater Sydney. Comparing the count of Census workers against local residents suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited within the area itself. Based on AreaSearch calculations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from wider statistical boundaries, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 7.5% and the labor force grow by 7.7%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, alongside a slight decline in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand in the suburb of Mount Annan. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted calculation for illustration that 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 — 144 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,784 at the 2021 Census → 12,217 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.
