This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Narwee has an estimated 5,611 residents, up from 5,411 at the 2021 Census — a change of 200 people, or 3.7%. That puts 4,418 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
Evaluating demographics from ABS updates for the region alongside fresh address data confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Narwee has a population estimated at 5,611 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 200 people (3.7%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 5,411 residents. This shift is calculated from a resident base of 5,599, determined by AreaSearch through analyzing the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 in combination with an additional 64 validated new addresses recorded after the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 4,418 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of nationwide areas analyzed by AreaSearch, indicating that land remains in short supply.
The suburb of Narwee's 3.7% post-Census expansion trails the wider SA4 region (6.5%) by 2.8 percentage points, showing solid local growth dynamics. Population gains locally were mainly driven by overseas arrivals, who accounted for roughly 84.0% of the aggregate population growth in recent times. AreaSearch implements the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia using 2022 as the starting year, substituting these with 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts based on 2021 where necessary. Projected growth rates by age group from these sources are likewise applied to all locations for the years 2032 through 2041. Looking forward, future projections indicate a population expansion rate slightly below the national median, with the suburb of Narwee forecast to grow by 417 persons by 2041, representing a total increase of 7.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
118 new dwellings have been approved in Narwee over the past five years, an average of 23 a year. That is 4.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 31, 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
Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approval data distributed from broader statistical units, the suburb of Narwee has averaged approximately 23 residential building permits annually, translating to an estimated 118 new homes over the last 5 financial years. For the current FY-26 period, 29 approvals have been logged. In the context of declining population numbers in recent years, housing additions have kept pace with demand to ensure a balanced marketplace offering good options for buyers, while newly approved homes average an estimated construction cost of $508,000, showing that developers are focusing on upmarket, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals for the current financial year total $736,000, showing a very low level of commercial construction. Recent residential construction approvals consist of 50.0% standalone houses and 50.0% medium to high-density dwellings. This trend toward compact housing provides budget-friendly entry points and attracts downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. With approximately 215 people for each approved residential dwelling, the suburb of Narwee displays density characteristics typical of a low-density suburb. Future projections suggest that the suburb of Narwee will add 405 residents by 2041, according to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current building volumes indicate that housing additions should be sufficient to satisfy demand, maintaining favorable conditions for prospective buyers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces these forecasts.

2,906 residents of Narwee are employed, from a labour force of 3,053. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 64.1%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 4,389, about 78% 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
Narwee boasts a highly qualified labor force, with professional services being particularly prominent. The unemployment rate stands at 4.8%, and estimated employment growth reached 2.5% over the previous year, according to AreaSearch's compilation of statistical area information. By March 2026, 2,906 individuals were actively employed, while the local unemployment rate registered 0.7% higher than Greater Sydney's 4.1%. Workforce participation in Narwee was slightly lower than the regional benchmark, sitting at 64.1% versus Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Census data indicated that 39.9% of residents worked from home, although this figure should be viewed in the context of pandemic-related lockdown measures.
Local employment is mostly concentrated within health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical services. The area shows a notable concentration of jobs in transport, postal & warehousing, where the employment share is 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 9.3% of local employment, falling short of the 11.5% registered across Greater Sydney. Comparing the Census working population against the resident workforce indicates that this heavily residential locality offers few local job opportunities. Based on AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS data for the broader statistical area, the past 12 months saw employment rise by 2.5% while the labor force expanded by 3.2%, leading to a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9%, labor force growth of 1.9%, and a slight reduction in unemployment. National employment forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help project future trends for the suburb of Narwee. These five and ten-year national projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although overall national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary by industry. Modeling these sector-specific rates suggests that local employment in the suburb of Narwee would grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation based on industry mix without adjusting for local population forecasts.

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 — 64 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,411 at the 2021 Census → 5,611 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.
