Detail
In the suburb of North Turramurra, the population is estimated to have reached approximately 4,879 by May 2026. This figure is based on AreaSearch's evaluation of the June 2025 ABS demographic update alongside 5 validated new addresses added since the 2021 Census. This represents a growth of 685 individuals, or a 16.3% rise, from the 4,194 residents documented during the 2021 Census. The local population density stands at 421 persons per square kilometer, which indicates low density and suggests space is available for potential expansion. This 16.3% growth rate positioned the suburb of North Turramurra as a regional growth leader, outstripping the gains of both the broader SA3 area (4.4%) and the wider SA4 region.
Demographic expansion was almost exclusively fueled by overseas migration, which served as the sole source of population increases in recent times. Projections for the suburb of North Turramurra rely on the 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia release using a 2022 baseline, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government projections with a 2021 baseline where necessary. For the years 2032 through 2041, age group growth rates from these datasets are applied locally. Future demographic models suggest the suburb of North Turramurra will experience population growth exceeding the national average for statistical areas, with a projected gain of 559 residents by 2041, representing an overall increase of 11.5% over the 16-year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
110 new dwellings have been approved in North Turramurra over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That places the area in the 85th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 39% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 41, 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
According to building approval data compiled by AreaSearch from local statistical records, North Turramurra averages roughly 22 residential approvals per year. This resulted in an estimated 110 home approvals over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with an additional 38 approvals registered during FY-26 so far. Because the area has seen an average of 5.5 new residents for every finished dwelling during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand continues to outpace new supply. This imbalance typically intensifies buyer competition and drives up prices. Meanwhile, the average value of these new builds is $791,000, indicating that developers are targeting the upscale segment with premium projects.
Construction activity in North Turramurra is relatively high, tracking 22.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5-year timeframe, which provides buyers with choices while supporting local property values. The mix of new residential construction consists of 39.0% standalone houses and 61.0% multi-unit attached dwellings. This shift toward denser housing provides more attainable entry points for downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers, representing a major transition from the existing housing stock, which is 71.0% standalone houses. This pivot is driven by a scarcity of development land and changing preferences around lifestyle and affordability. Currently, the ratio of about 95 residents for each new approval highlights the developing nature of the locality. Demographic projections indicate that North Turramurra will add 559 new residents by 2041, based on recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch. The current pace of residential construction appears aligned with this projected growth, helping maintain balanced market conditions and preventing sharp price escalations.

1,891 residents of North Turramurra are employed, from a labour force of 1,924. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 44.0%. 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 workforce is characterized by high levels of education and a strong concentration of professionals. The area recorded an unemployment rate of only 1.7% and experienced an estimated employment expansion of 2.7% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, there are 1,891 employed residents. The local unemployment rate sits 2.4 percentage points below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while the labor force participation rate of 44.0% is significantly lower than the metropolitan average of 69.1%. Census data indicates that 59.9% of local workers operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are professional, scientific, and technical services, healthcare and social assistance, and education and training. The locality shows a high concentration in professional, scientific, and technical services, employing residents at 1.4 times the metropolitan rate. Conversely, the transport, postal, and warehousing sector accounts for only 1.8% of the local workforce, compared to 5.3% across Greater Sydney. Although there are local employment options, a comparison between the Census working population and the total resident count suggests a large portion of the workforce commutes to other areas. Based on SALM and ABS statistics aggregated across wider areas, the local labor market experienced a 2.7% rise in employment alongside a 2.1% increase in the labor force over the 12-month period, leading to a 0.6 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. This outperformed Greater Sydney, where employment and labor force both rose by 1.9%, resulting in only a minor decline in unemployment. Future labor demand can be analyzed using the May-25 five-year and ten-year national employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local employment structure suggests that North Turramurra's workforce will expand by 7.5% over five years and 14.9% over ten years, assuming a direct weighting based on the current industry mix without adjusting for localized population shifts.

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,194 at the 2021 Census → 4,879 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL13023). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
