Sales Detail
Terrey Hills has an estimated 2,968 residents, down from 3,142 at the 2021 Census — a change of 174 people, or 5.5%. The population has thinned by an average 1.4% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. That puts 351 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Terrey Hills has an estimated population of approximately 2,968, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside new addresses verified since the Census. In comparison to the 2021 Census count of 3,142 people, this represents a contraction of 174 people (5.5%). This adjustment is based on AreaSearch establishing a resident headcount of 2,968 following the ABS release of updated ERP numbers (June 2025) and incorporating 6 validated new addresses post-Census. With a population density of 351 persons per square kilometer, the locality affords substantial personal space and capacity for prospective expansion.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary demographic driver, accounting for virtually all local population additions in recent times. For demographic forecasting, AreaSearch applies ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 as their baseline year, while SA2 territories not covered rely on NSW State Government projections issued in 2022 with a 2021 base year. Age cohort trajectories derived from these datasets are further utilized across all areas between 2032 and 2041. In terms of future population trajectory, the suburb of Terrey Hills is projected to track within the nation's lower growth quartile, with aggregated SA2-level figures projecting a net gain of 12 persons to 2041, which corresponds to an overall expansion of 0.4% across the 16 years.

Detail
Residential building approvals in Terrey Hills indicate an average delivery rate of roughly 1 new home per annum, according to AreaSearch's breakdown of ABS approval metrics from statistical area data. Over the recent 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an estimated total of 6 homes received approval, including 1 recorded so far in FY-25. While local headcount has contracted over the preceding timeframe, this pace of building activity has remained relatively sufficient to support purchasers, with approved dwellings carrying an average expected construction cost of $536,000. Additionally, non-residential investment has remained active, evidenced by $12.3 million in commercial approvals registered during the current financial year.
Per capita residential construction in Terrey Hills sits well below broader metropolitan benchmarks, tracking 83.0% below regional average per person across Greater Sydney. This constrained volume of new dwelling delivery generally underpins pricing and elevates interest in the existing housing stock. Construction rates also sit lower than nationally, pointing toward local planning restrictions as well as established market maturity. Recent approvals have consisted entirely of detached houses, sustaining the traditional low-density urban form oriented around spacious family properties. Underscoring this subdued development tempo, the area records an estimated ratio of 2980 people per dwelling approval. Looking forward from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Terrey Hills is projected to add 12 residents through to 2041. Provided prevailing construction rates continue, the resulting residential supply should comfortably satisfy local demand, maintaining balanced conditions for property buyers and offering scope to accommodate growth beyond current estimates.

Further roads, paths, parks, sportsground upgrades and flood mitigation works funded under the Section 7.11 Contributions Plan are continuing across the release area.
1,562 residents of Terrey Hills are employed, from a labour force of 1,618. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 64.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,653, about 89% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Terrey Hills boasts a highly skilled labor pool, where professional services hold a prominent position, an unemployment rate of only 3.5%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.5% over the previous year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,562 residents are employed while the unemployment rate is 0.7% below Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (64.3% compared to Greater Sydney's 68.9%). Based on Census responses, a high 46.0% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The primary industry sectors employing local residents are construction, professional & technical services, along with health care & social assistance. Local workforce concentration is especially pronounced in construction, where employment representation is 1.5 times the regional level. By contrast, transport, postal & warehousing comprises a smaller segment at 2.9%, trailing the wider region's 5.3% share. Comparing the resident workforce against the Census working population indicates that local job generation remains limited within this predominantly residential area. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures across wider statistical areas reveals that in the 12 months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 1.5% alongside a 1.9% increase in the labor pool, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment and labor supply both expanded by 1.9%, accompanied by a marginal drop in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide forward visibility regarding industry demand. Across Australia, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector trajectories diverge substantially. Applying these weighted baseline projections to Terrey Hills's workforce profile indicates potential local job increases of 7.0% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, noting that this simple illustrative weighting does not incorporate localized population forecasts.

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 Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,142 at the 2021 Census → 2,968 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 (SAL13819). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
