Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS demographic releases and post-Census address verification, the suburb of Mount Annan has an estimated population of 12,217 as of Aug 2026. This figure marks an expansion of 433 residents (3.7%) from the 11,784 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. The updated total is derived from an Estimated Resident Population figure of 12,201 calculated following the June 2025 ABS data release, coupled with 143 validated new addresses confirmed after the Census. Consequently, the suburb of Mount Annan records a population density of 1,194 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks across AreaSearch study locations.
Demographic expansion locally has been underpinned primarily by natural increase, accounting for roughly 65.0% of recent population additions. Demographic modeling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia projections benchmarked to 2022 across individual SA2 boundaries, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts based in 2021 where required. Age-cohort growth trends from these datasets are projected forward for all localities across the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on these aggregated SA2 projections, future demographic momentum in the suburb of Mount Annan aligns with the lower quartile of areas assessed by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Mount Annan projected to add 176 persons by 2041, representing cumulative growth of 1.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
38 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Annan over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 0.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, 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 by AreaSearch indicates that residential development in Mount Annan has averaged approximately 7 new dwellings per year, totaling an estimated 38 homes sanctioned across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 17 approvals logged to date in FY-25. Across those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the suburb registered an average of 8.9 incoming residents for each new dwelling constructed, creating an environment where demand substantially exceeds construction volume, applying upward pressure on property prices and intensifying buyer competition. Expected residential construction costs average $313,000 per dwelling, sitting below the broader regional standard and pointing to relatively affordable development outlays.
Furthermore, non-residential activity remains minimal with $102,000 in commercial approvals recorded during the current financial year, underscoring the area's predominantly residential character. Residential construction in Mount Annan remains subdued relative to Greater Sydney, sitting 82.0% below the metropolitan benchmark per resident. This constrained supply pipeline typically bolsters values and buyer demand across the established property stock, even as development volumes have shown recent acceleration. Construction activity also tracks below national levels, reflecting a mature urban environment and potential planning constraints. Of recent residential approvals, detached dwellings comprise 75.0% while apartments and townhouses account for 25.0%, preserving the suburban fabric with low-density housing that appeals to buyers seeking space. This represents a distinct evolution from the existing built environment (which consists of 96.0% separate houses), signaling fewer available greenfield development sites alongside shifting housing preferences for more diverse, cost-effective dwelling formats. A ratio of approximately 811 residents per dwelling approval highlights the established nature of the local market. Based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures, demographic projections anticipate Mount Annan will add 160 residents through to 2041. At current building approval volumes, upcoming residential construction appears well-placed to accommodate this projected demand, offering balanced conditions for property purchasers while leaving room to absorb growth rates above projected levels.

7,905 residents of Mount Annan are employed, from a labour force of 8,100. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 83.8%. 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 9,253, 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 local workforce in Mount Annan is characterized by a strong presence of skilled personnel in essential service industries, paired with an unemployment rate of only 2.4% and an estimated 7.4% rise in employment over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents reached 7,905, maintaining an unemployment rate 1.7% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while labor force participation reached an elevated 83.8% versus 68.9% across the broader metropolitan area. Furthermore, Census figures showed 34.5% of working residents based from home, a metric influenced in part by prevailing Covid-19 health directives.
The primary employment sectors among local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Mount Annan demonstrates significant workforce concentration in construction, where local representation is 1.4 times the regional proportion. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for only 5.5% of resident employment, falling short of the 11.5% observed across Greater Sydney. A comparison between the local Census working population and resident labor force suggests limited employment generation within the suburb itself, with most workers traveling elsewhere for employment. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS data, which were aggregated from larger statistical regions, indicates that during the year ending March 2026, employment levels rose by 7.4% and the labour force grew by 7.6%, leading to an increase in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labour force growth of 1.9%, with unemployment declining slightly. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional perspective on potential future demand within Mount Annan. These projections, spanning five and ten-year periods, 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, expansion rates vary considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Mount Annan's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.0% over ten years. This estimate is based on a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 143 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 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.
