Renwick lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

As of Nov 2025, the estimated population of the Renwick statistical area (Lv2) is around 1,513. This figure reflects an increase of 60 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,453. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of the resident population at 1,493 in Jun 2024, based on the latest ERP data release by the ABS and an additional 9 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population results in a density ratio of 1,080 persons per square kilometer, which is comparable to averages seen across other locations assessed by AreaSearch. The Renwick (SA2) experienced a growth rate of 4.1% between the 2021 Census and Nov 2025, exceeding both the SA3 area's 3.1% growth and the SA4 region's growth rates. Overseas migration contributed approximately 62.0% to overall population gains during recent periods, with all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration being positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections where applicable, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Future population trends predict exceptional growth for the Renwick (SA2), placing it in the top 10 percent of regional areas nationally, with an expected increase of 749 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 49.6% over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Renwick recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, Renwick has received approximately 6 dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 33 homes. In FY26 so far, 1 approval has been recorded. On average, each home built between FY21 and FY25 accommodates around 4.6 new residents per year, indicating a significant demand outstripping supply, which typically exerts upward pressure on prices and intensifies competition among buyers. The average construction value of new properties is $503,000, reflecting a focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.

This financial year has seen $1.8 million in commercial development approvals, suggesting a predominantly residential focus. Compared to the rest of NSW, Renwick records about three-quarters the building activity per person and ranks among the 49th percentile nationally, implying limited buyer options while bolstering demand for established properties. New developments consist of 86.0% detached houses and 14.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the area's suburban character with detached housing appealing to space-seeking buyers.

With around 333 people per dwelling approval, Renwick exhibits characteristics of a low-density area. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Renwick is projected to grow by 751 residents by 2041. If current construction levels persist, housing supply may lag population growth, potentially exacerbating buyer competition and supporting price growth.
