Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Pemulwuy has an estimated population of approximately 6,579, established through AreaSearch analysis of broader ABS population updates and new addresses validated following the Census. Compared to the 2021 Census count of 5,532 people, this represents an expansion of 1,047 people (18.9%). The adjustment incorporates an Estimated Resident Population (ERP) figure of 6,576 assessed from the June 2025 ABS release alongside 207 validated new addresses identified since the Census date. With a density of 439 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Pemulwuy maintains ample space per resident and room for future expansion.
Its 18.9% expansion rate since the 2021 census exceeded both the wider state (7.3%) and Greater Sydney, establishing the locality as a regional growth leader. This demographic expansion was predominantly steered by overseas migration, which contributed around 82.0% of total population increases across recent periods. Projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year from ABS/Geoscience Australia are utilised by AreaSearch for each SA2 area, while NSW State Government SA2 projections issued in 2022 using 2021 as a base year cover any remaining gaps. Age-specific growth trajectories from these groupings are likewise applied across all locations for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, demographic forecasts place the suburb of Pemulwuy within the lower quartile of nationwide growth, with aggregated SA2-level figures indicating the area is expected to expand by 91 persons to 2041, amounting to an overall increase of 1.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
140 new dwellings have been approved in Pemulwuy over the past five years, an average of 28 a year. That places the area in the 92nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 53 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 23% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 167, 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 AreaSearch evaluation of ABS statistical area building records, building approvals in Pemulwuy have run at roughly 28 dwellings annually, amounting to about 140 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 167 approvals have been logged. Between FY-21 and FY-25 over the past 5 financial years, roughly 3.9 people have arrived in the area for every home constructed, meaning residential demand heavily outstrips added supply—a condition that typically stimulates price growth and heightened competition among buyers—while new homes are built at an average expected construction cost of $474,000.
Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $13.5 million during this financial year, demonstrating steady commercial investment activity. Recent residential building activity comprises 23.0% standalone houses and 77.0% medium and high-density dwellings. This shift toward higher-density development introduces more accessible entry points, catering to first-time purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. It represents a marked departure from the existing residential landscape (where 75.0% are currently houses), addressing shifting lifestyle demands, affordability requirements, and reduced land availability. Recording around 60 people per dwelling approval, Pemulwuy displays the distinct hallmarks of a growth area. Upcoming forecasts based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release project that Pemulwuy will add 88 residents by 2041. At ongoing building paces, new residential development appears poised to satisfy demand adequately, fostering advantageous conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond current forecasts.

4,244 residents of Pemulwuy are employed, from a labour force of 4,366. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 82.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% 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. The working-day population is estimated at 7,907, about 120% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Pemulwuy features a highly educated workforce with strong professional services participation, a low jobless rate of 2.8%, and estimated annual employment growth of 7.5%, as aggregated by AreaSearch from statistical area metrics. As of March 2026, employed residents total 4,244, while local unemployment sits 1.3% under the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Workforce participation is particularly elevated at 82.7%, outstripping the Greater Sydney figure of 68.9%. Census records also indicated that 52.4% of working residents operated from home, though the context of Covid-19 restrictions must be acknowledged. Resident employment is heavily concentrated across health care & social assistance, education & training, and finance & insurance.
Local representation in finance & insurance is especially prominent, tracking at 1.4 times the regional standard. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 8.4% of the workforce in Pemulwuy, trailing the 11.5% seen across Greater Sydney. With 1.1 workers recorded for each resident at the Census, the locality serves as an employment hub that draws in workers from surrounding districts and hosts more jobs than residents. Data evaluated by AreaSearch from SALM and the ABS over a 12-month period reveals that employment climbed by 7.5% while the local labor force widened by 7.4%, driving down the unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment rose by 1.9%, the labor force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment fell marginally. Five- and ten-year national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Pemulwuy by mapping industry trends against local sector distributions. Across the nation, employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with wide variation across distinct industries. Applying these sector-level expectations to the industry profile of Pemulwuy suggests local employment should expand by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this represents an illustrative weighted extrapolation that does not take into account 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 — 207 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,532 at the 2021 Census → 6,579 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL13192). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
