This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Growth has averaged 6.0% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. 1,375 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Albion Park - Macquarie Pass has reached a resident count of approximately 24,614 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 5,588 people (29.4%) compared to the 19,026 people counted during the 2021 Census. This upward trajectory is calculated by combining the ABS estimated resident population of 23,649 as of June 2025 with 1,375 validated new addresses added post-Census. With a resultant density of 327 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains generous open space alongside substantial capacity for future development. Outperforming both the broader SA4 region and the Rest of NSW (5.1%), the local 29.4% surge since the 2021 census establishes the community as a regional expansion frontrunner.
While natural increases and international arrivals both contributed positively, interstate migration served as the primary catalyst, accounting for roughly 72.4% of total population additions in recent times. Projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) from the ABS and Geoscience Australia are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 releases (using 2021 as a baseline) where needed. Furthermore, age-cohort growth rates drawn from these datasets are projected forward for 2032 to 2041. Based on the most recent annual ERP figures and expected demographic patterns, the district is slated for top-decile regional growth across Australia, adding 12,125 persons by 2041 to record an overall 16-year increase of 45.3%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,760 new dwellings have been approved in Albion Park - Macquarie Pass over the past five years, an average of 352 a year. That places the area in the 99th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 348 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 65% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the past 5 financial years, residential approvals in Albion Park - Macquarie Pass have averaged roughly 352 homes per annum, accumulating to 1,760 homes. With roughly 3.4 new residents entering for each home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), strong demand continues to outrun new additions, which typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on home values. In line with regional patterns, newly approved dwellings show an average value of $400,000. In addition, $1.3 million in commercial approvals was logged during the current financial year, highlighting an environment centered predominantly on residential development.
Albion Park - Macquarie Pass generates 93.0% higher new home approvals per capita than the Rest of NSW, providing extensive choices for purchasers and reflecting significant developer interest well above the national standard. Recent approvals comprise 65.0% detached houses and 35.0% attached dwellings. This expanding delivery of medium-density formats introduces varied price points ranging from traditional family residences to cost-effective compact homes. Given that 88.0% of established housing consists of separate houses, this shift illustrates evolving lifestyle preferences, an increasing requirement for diversified housing types, and a diminishing supply of broadacre sites. Tracking at roughly 60 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical growth-corridor dynamics. According to population projections based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Albion Park - Macquarie Pass is anticipated to welcome 11,160 residents by 2041. Maintaining ongoing building volumes should adequately accommodate incoming demand, providing supportive conditions for home buyers and opening possibilities to surpass current expansion estimates.

12,923 residents of Albion Park - Macquarie Pass are employed, from a labour force of 13,344. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 72.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 19,903, about 81% 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
A well-balanced mix of blue-collar and white-collar roles characterizes the Albion Park - Macquarie Pass workforce, alongside strong engagement in essential services, a low unemployment rate of 3.2%, and an estimated 2.5% employment gain over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 12,923, holding the local jobless rate 0.9% beneath the 4.1% seen across Regional NSW. Furthermore, local participation reaches 72.5%, significantly outstripping the 60.6% recorded across Regional NSW. Census records show that 22.2% of workers operated from home, an outcome that may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
Health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade represent the primary sectors employing local residents. Construction stands out as a clear local specialty, exhibiting an employment concentration 1.2 times that of the wider region. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.4% of resident workers compared to 5.3% across the region. Comparisons between the working population counted locally at the Census and the resident workforce suggest that the district provides relatively few local jobs. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that employment rose 2.5% and the labour force grew 2.6% during the year to March 2026, which helped maintain a relatively stable unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% reduction in the labour force, and an increase in unemployment of 0.5 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia for the period beginning Mar-26 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Albion Park - Macquarie Pass. These projections, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to the employment mix in Albion Park - Macquarie Pass, the expected local employment increase is 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years. It is important to note that this represents a straightforward weighting extrapolation intended for illustrative purposes only and does not incorporate localized population 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 — 1,375 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (19,026 at the 2021 Census → 24,614 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.
