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.

Albion Park Rail has an estimated 6,900 residents. That puts 962 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
According to the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Albion Park Rail is approximately 6,900 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 20 people (0.3%) from the 6,920 residents counted in the 2021 Census. The calculation is based on the ABS estimated resident population of 6,883 in June 2025 alongside 86 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. This population size results in a density of 962 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical levels across the locations studied. The primary factor behind the population change was overseas migration, which served as the exclusive contributor to population growth in recent times.
Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year are utilized by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, the 2022 NSW State Government SA2 projections based in 2021 are applied. Demographic changes are modeled by applying age group growth rates from these datasets to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on expected demographic trends, the area is projected to grow in line with the lower quartile of regional Australian territories, increasing by 93 persons by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP statistics, which represents a total growth of 1.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
181 new dwellings have been approved in Albion Park Rail over the past five years, an average of 36 a year. That is 5.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 33 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 15% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, well below 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
An average of 36 new dwelling approvals annually has been recorded in Albion Park Rail, resulting in 181 total residential approvals over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 9 approvals have been registered. Because the local population has been declining, this incoming housing supply has likely matched demand, providing options for prospective buyers, with new builds averaging a construction cost of $273,000—a figure below the regional average that indicates more affordable development options. Furthermore, commercial development approvals valued at $16.0 million have been documented during the current financial year, showing a moderate volume of commercial building activity.
In comparison to the Rest of NSW, the per capita rate of new dwelling approvals in Albion Park Rail is roughly two-thirds as high, though it ranks in the 75th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide. Recent building approvals consist of 15.0% detached houses and 85.0% attached dwellings. The high proportion of higher-density housing provides entry-level affordability and draws interest from downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct shift from the current housing stock (where houses make up 78.0% of all dwellings), which is a response to fewer available development sites, changing lifestyles, and affordability challenges. Reflecting its low-density nature, the area registers approximately 168 people for every dwelling approval. According to demographic projections, Albion Park Rail is expected to add 76 residents by 2041 when measured against the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Given current building trends, the supply of new housing is anticipated to satisfy demand easily, supporting buyer-friendly market conditions and potentially enabling population growth to exceed current forecasts.

3,074 residents of Albion Park Rail are employed, from a labour force of 3,410. Unemployment sits at 9.9%, with participation at 60.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 labor force in Albion Park Rail is balanced between white-collar and blue-collar roles, with a solid representation of essential service industries, an unemployment rate of 9.9%, and a 2.8% estimated rise in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, there are 3,074 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 5.7% higher than the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, pointing to potential areas for growth, while labor force participation is largely in line with the Regional NSW figure of 60.6%. Census data indicates that a moderate 15.6% of residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The region exhibits a distinct concentration in health care & social assistance, employing residents at 1.2 times the rate seen regionally. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents a minor sector, accounting for 0.3% of local employment compared to 5.3% across the region. Despite some local employment options, the ratio of Census workers to the resident population suggests that a significant portion of the workforce travels outside the area for employment. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that in the 12 months leading up to March 2026, employment grew by 2.8% and the labor force expanded by 2.7%, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points. This performance differed from Regional NSW, where employment shrank by 0.9%, the labor force declined by 0.4%, and the unemployment rate climbed by 0.5 percentage points. Future demand trends in Albion Park Rail can be interpreted alongside Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with substantial variation across different industries. Weighting these national projections against the industry distribution of Albion Park Rail yields an estimated local employment increase of 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local 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 — 86 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,920 at the 2021 Census → 6,900 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.
