This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Population
Vincentia lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends
As of Nov 2025, Vincentia's population is estimated at around 3842 people. This reflects a decrease of 28 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 3870 people. The current resident population estimate by AreaSearch is 3712 following examination of ABS ERP data release in June 2024 and validation of additional 23 new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 289 persons per square kilometer. Over the past decade, Vincentia has demonstrated resilient growth patterns with a compound annual growth rate of 1.8%. Population growth was primarily driven by overseas migration contributing approximately 53% of overall population gains during recent periods.
AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections for areas not covered by this data, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas from these aggregations for years 2032 to 2041. By 2041, Vincentia is expected to increase by 1100 persons based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total increase of 32.6% over the 17-year period.

Development
Recent residential development output has been above average within Vincentia when compared nationally
Vincentia averaged approximately 24 new dwelling approvals annually based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, around 124 homes were approved, with an additional seven approved so far in FY-26. This indicates solid demand, with about 2.7 new residents gained per year for each dwelling built during this period.
The average construction value of these dwellings was approximately $564,000, suggesting a focus on the premium market. In FY-26, around $2.5 million in commercial approvals have been registered, reflecting Vincentia's residential character. Comparing development levels per person with Rest of NSW, Vincentia shows similar figures, maintaining market balance consistent with the broader area. Recent construction trends indicate 50% detached dwellings and 50% townhouses or apartments, marking a significant shift from the current housing pattern of 92% houses. This denser development provides accessible entry options for downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers.
Vincentia has around 173 people per dwelling approval, indicating low-density characteristics. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Vincentia is projected to grow by approximately 1,254 residents through to 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to keep pace with population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting price increases.
