Sales Detail
Pyrmont has an estimated 13,933 residents, up from 12,658 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,275 people, or 10.1%. Overseas migration accounts for 89.0% of that increase. That puts 14,982 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Analysis of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, alongside new address datasets verified by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the suburb of Pyrmont has a population of approximately 13,933 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,275 people (10.1%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 12,658 residents. This population shift is calculated from the resident population of 13,933, determined by AreaSearch through evaluating the ABS June 2025 ERP data release and a further 19 validated new addresses since the Census date. Such demographic levels result in a density of 14,981 persons per square kilometer, positioning the area within the highest 10% of all national locations assessed by AreaSearch, pointing to local land as a highly coveted resource.
The 10.1% expansion rate in the suburb of Pyrmont since the 2021 census outpaced the state average (7.1%) and Greater Sydney, establishing the area as a regional growth leader. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 89.0% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this data, SA2-level projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are implemented. Demographic growth rates by age bracket from these aggregations are applied to all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Future demographic assessments indicate that the suburb of Pyrmont is positioned in the top quartile of statistical areas for population growth, with a projected increase of 3,966 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a total growth of 28.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Only a single building approval has been documented in Pyrmont during the last five years. This indicates a fully developed, mature locality with scarce vacant land for new construction. For purchasers, this limited volume of new housing supply generally sustains local property valuations, indicating that purchasing competition will mostly focus on established residences. Building activity in Pyrmont is significantly lower than that observed across Greater Sydney. This restriction on new residential additions typically supports buyer demand and pricing trends for established properties. Furthermore, this construction rate falls below the national average, highlighting the established profile of the locality and pointing to potential zoning and planning constraints.

8,770 residents of Pyrmont are employed, from a labour force of 9,076. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 70.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 19,749, about 142% 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
Pyrmont features a workforce with high levels of qualification, particularly within the technology sector, accompanied by a low unemployment rate of 3.4% and an annual employment growth rate of 0.7%, according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. There are 8,770 employed residents as of March 2026, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.8% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation matches the metropolitan benchmark of 69.1%. Census records reveal that a substantial 59.8% of employed locals worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted alongside Covid-19 restrictions active at the time.
The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of professional & technical services, financial & insurance services, and accommodation & food services. Professional & technical representation is particularly strong, with an employment share 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, healthcare & social assistance is notably underrepresented, employing only 7.8% of the local workforce compared to 14.1% across Greater Sydney. With 1.5 jobs available for every local resident at the time of the Census, the locality serves as a major employment center, importing workers from neighboring areas. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region show that employment rose by 0.7% over the 12-month period, while the total labor force grew by 0.9%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decrease in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand within Pyrmont. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to estimate potential employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector outlooks vary. Modeling these industry-specific projections against the local job profile suggests Pyrmont's employment could rise by 7.3% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation based on industry mix without local population adjustments.

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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,658 at the 2021 Census → 13,933 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 (SAL13297). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
