Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch, drawing on broader ABS updates and post-Census address validations, place the resident count for the suburb of North Turramurra at approximately 4,881 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 4,194 people documented in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 687 people (16.4%). This figure was established by evaluating the June 2025 ABS ERP release alongside 5 validated new addresses added after the Census. With 421 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of North Turramurra maintains a low-density living environment featuring ample personal space and scope for future expansion.
Outpacing both the wider SA4 region and the local SA3 area (4.5%), the suburb of North Turramurra registered a 16.4% gain since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a regional growth frontrunner. Incoming overseas arrivals served as the primary demographic catalyst, accounting for virtually all recent net population additions in the suburb of North Turramurra. Projections for each SA2 district utilised by AreaSearch originate from ABS/Geoscience Australia modeling published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year, while unrepresented SA2 zones rely on NSW State Government figures issued in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. From 2032 to 2041, age-specific growth trajectories from these aggregated datasets are applied across all locations. Future demographic trends indicate that the suburb of North Turramurra will outpace the national statistical median, gaining an estimated 554 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 modeling, representing an overall expansion of 11.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
101 new dwellings have been approved in North Turramurra over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That places the area in the 86th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 52% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 43, 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
Urban planning and building approval records compiled by AreaSearch from ABS statistical data reveal that North Turramurra averages approximately 20 dwellings approved annually, totaling 101 homes over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 43 sanctioned during FY-25 to date. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), inbound migration averaged 4.2 people per year for every completed residence, creating a notable supply-demand imbalance that typically fuels buyer competition and capital appreciation. Meanwhile, expected construction costs average $1,207,000 per newly built property, underscoring substantial residential developer investment in high-end, premium housing.
Residential building volumes in North Turramurra outpace Greater Sydney, tracking 36.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period to support existing valuations while preserving purchasing opportunities. Approvals show a balanced construction profile comprising 52.0% detached dwellings alongside 48.0% attached dwellings, introducing a diverse array of apartments and townhouses catering to both premium family buyers and entry-level purchasers. This pipeline marks a strategic shift away from the prevailing footprint (currently 71.0% houses), responding to site constraints as well as changing lifestyle choices and affordability considerations. Operating at roughly 67 people per approval, the locality exhibits the characteristics of an expanding residential market. Long-term residential development forecasts anticipate North Turramurra absorbing an additional 554 residents by 2041 according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction pipelines remain well balanced against projected population requirements, fostering orderly market stability without triggering severe price escalation.

1,897 residents of North Turramurra are employed, from a labour force of 1,932. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 44.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% 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. 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 job market in North Turramurra features a highly skilled professional workforce, characterized by a minimal unemployment rate of 1.8% and an annual employment expansion of 2.6% according to aggregated statistical figures from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, 1,897 residents are gainfully employed, while the local jobless rate sits 2.3% below the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney; however, workforce participation remains subdued at 44.1% compared to 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census findings indicated that 59.9% of working residents performed their duties remotely, a metric influenced in part by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
Local workers are predominantly engaged in professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training roles. Employment concentration is exceptionally pronounced in professional & technical services, where the local representation stands at 1.4 times the regional level. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing comprises a modest 1.8% of North Turramurra's workforce, well under the 5.3% observed across Greater Sydney. Although domestic employment options exist, Census journey-to-work comparisons relative to the resident worker base show that a significant share of residents commute outside the district for employment. Examining aggregated SALM and ABS statistical data, AreaSearch recorded a 2.6% increase in employment alongside a 2.2% rise in the labour force for the year to March 2026, lowering local unemployment by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeline, employment grew by 1.9%, labour force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment fell marginally. Additional labor market insights stem from Jobs and Skills Australia's national forecasts released in Mar-26, which project nationwide employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years across varying sector trajectories. When mapped against North Turramurra's local workforce composition via illustrative weighting extrapolation (excluding localized demographic forecasts), local employment is projected to expand by 7.5% over five years and 14.9% over ten years.

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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,194 at the 2021 Census → 4,881 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.
