Sales Detail
St Ives Chase has an estimated 3,366 residents, up from 3,283 at the 2021 Census — a change of 83 people, or 2.5%. That puts 967 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
Based on evaluation of ABS demographic updates covering the wider region, alongside recent address points verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of St Ives Chase has a calculated population of approximately 3,366 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 83 people (2.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered a population of 3,283 residents. This adjustment is derived from a resident headcount of 3,352, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP statistics from the ABS (June 2025) plus 6 validated new addresses verified since the Census date.
This population count corresponds to a density of 967 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical averages recorded across regions analyzed by AreaSearch. The 2.5% increase post-census places the suburb of St Ives Chase within 1.9 percentage points of the SA3 region (4.4%), showing competitive underlying expansion. Growth in the local headcount was primarily driven by overseas migration, which acted as the sole source of positive demographic gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for individual SA2 sectors, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are substituted. Projected growth rates segmented by age brackets from these data sources are additionally applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future population shifts, the suburb of St Ives Chase is anticipated to experience expansion slightly below the median of other analyzed statistical zones, with projections indicating a rise of 189 persons by 2041 based on combined SA2-level data, which represents a total increase of 5.2% over the 16 years.

Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building permit statistics apportioned from statistical areas, the suburb of St Ives Chase has averaged approximately 13 residential approvals annually, with an estimated total of 69 residences approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and one approval registered during FY-26 so far. With the local population decreasing during the recent period, this level of development has been relatively sufficient, offering a favorable situation for purchasers, while newly approved builds carry an average valuation of $975,000, indicating that builders are targeting the higher-priced sector with upscale designs.
Relative to Greater Sydney, the suburb of St Ives Chase exhibits comparable building approval rates on a per-capita basis, maintaining a supply-demand equilibrium in line with the wider metropolitan region, although construction approvals have slowed down recently. Current building approvals consist of 76.0% detached houses and 24.0% semi-detached properties or units, which supports the suburban character of the area through a preference for standalone homes that appeal to buyers desiring more space. This represents a clear shift from the historical housing stock (which currently stands at 96.0% houses), indicating a reduction in available vacant land and reflecting changing household preferences and affordability factors. With a ratio of approximately 2235 residents per individual approval, the suburb of St Ives Chase demonstrates the characteristics of a mature, built-out locality. Future forecasts indicate that the suburb of St Ives Chase will gain 175 inhabitants by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. Under current construction trajectories, the supply of housing is expected to comfortably satisfy resident demand, creating beneficial purchasing conditions while potentially supporting population increases that surpass these 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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,283 at the 2021 Census → 3,366 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 (SAL13655). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
