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.

Detail
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Albion Park - Macquarie Pass stands at approximately 24,368 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 5,342 people (28.1%) from the 2021 Census, when 19,026 people were recorded. This variance is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 23,649 and a further 1,283 validated new addresses identified after the Census. With this population level, the density ratio reaches 324 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial space per inhabitant and potential capacity for subsequent expansion. The 28.1% growth rate of Albion Park - Macquarie Pass since the 2021 census outstripped the Rest of NSW (4.9%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 72.4% of total population increases recently, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 data is unavailable from this source, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are substituted. Age bracket growth trends from these datasets are projected forward to all localities for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest remarkable expansion that ranks in the highest 10 percent of countrywide non-metropolitan zones, with the population projected to rise by 12,139 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative increase of 46.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,864 new dwellings have been approved in Albion Park - Macquarie Pass over the past five years, an average of 372 a year. That places the area in the 98th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 15 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 261 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 60% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 447, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Albion Park - Macquarie Pass averages approximately 372 home approvals annually, with a total of 1,864 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 410 during the current FY-26 period. Given that 3.2 new residents have been added for each completed residence over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new supply lags demand significantly, which typically intensifies buyer rivalry and elevates prices, even as new buildings are built for an average value of $265,000—below regional benchmarks—presenting more budget-friendly purchasing options.
Furthermore, commercial development approvals have reached $1.3 million this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality. Compared to the Rest of NSW, Albion Park - Macquarie Pass generates 114.0% more new dwelling approvals (per person), offering buyers plenty of alternatives despite a recent deceleration in building trends. This figure sits well above the nationwide average, reflecting strong developer commitment. Recent housing starts consist of 60.0% detached houses and 40.0% semi-detached properties or apartments, showing a growing diversity of attached dwellings that span multiple price brackets from large family residences to compact options. This marks a clear departure from the current housing stock (where houses constitute 88.0%), pointing to a shrinking supply of vacant land, changing occupant preferences, and the demand for more varied, lower-priced options. The ratio of 76 people per dwelling approval characterizes Albion Park - Macquarie Pass as a developing growth corridor. Demographic projections indicate Albion Park - Macquarie Pass is set to add 11,420 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing should easily satisfy this demand, offering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current demographic forecasts.

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 72.3%. 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 19,637, 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
The workforce of Albion Park - Macquarie Pass is balanced between white and blue collar occupations, with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate of just 3.2%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.5% over the prior year. In March 2026, there are 12,923 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.9% lower than the Regional NSW figure of 4.1%, while workforce participation is exceptionally high at 72.3% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data indicates a moderate 22.2% of the workforce worked from home, though this may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local citizens are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction shows a strong local concentration, employing a share of workers 1.2 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, accounting for 0.4% of jobs compared to the regional average of 5.3%. The mismatch between the Census working population and resident population suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 2.5% and the labour force expand by 2.6%, keeping the unemployment rate virtually unchanged. This stands in contrast to Regional NSW, where employment fell by 0.9%, the labour force declined by 0.4%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.5 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Albion Park - Macquarie Pass. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local employment structure to project growth. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment in Albion Park - Macquarie Pass will rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 1,283 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (19,026 at the 2021 Census → 24,368 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.
