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.

Sales Detail
Berala has an estimated 8,916 residents, up from 8,610 at the 2021 Census — a change of 306 people, or 3.6%. That puts 4,266 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population residing in Berala stands at approximately 8,916 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 306 people (3.6%) following the 2021 Census tally of 8,610 people. Such growth is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population count of 8,895 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 21 validated new addresses identified after the Census date. With 4,266 persons per square kilometer, the locality places within the top 10% nationwide in AreaSearch assessments for population density, underlining substantial competition for local real estate.
Recent population gains were heavily underpinned by overseas migration, which generated roughly 83.6% of total net additions. Projections compiled by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 regions, with NSW State Government SA2 modeling (issued in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline) applied where necessary. Age-specific trajectory rates across these models also inform projections spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on expected demographic patterns, local expansion is forecast to track slightly under the Australian statistical area median, gaining 693 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP metrics, representing cumulative growth of 7.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
134 new dwellings have been approved in Berala over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 81% 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
Residential building approvals across Berala have tracked at an annual mean of roughly 26, totaling 134 homes across the preceding 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26). Because the population decreased across the preceding period, this volume of construction has provided satisfactory supply relative to demand, offering positive conditions for prospective purchasers. Concurrently, average construction value for new dwellings sits at $400,000—a figure below the broader metropolitan standard that indicates relatively accessible price points. Furthermore, $4.3 million across commercial building approvals has been logged during this financial year, reflecting modest non-residential development activity.
Per capita residential development in Berala lags significantly behind the Greater Sydney benchmark, sitting 63.0% below regional levels. This constrained flow of new stock typically reinforces pricing and demand for existing properties. Such subdued activity is also below national norms, highlighting market maturity alongside prospective planning hurdles. Newly approved construction is divided into 81.0% standalone houses and 19.0% medium-to-high density formats (townhouses or apartments), preserving the neighborhood's established low-scale environment and catering to households prioritizing living space. Notably, developers are delivering detached dwellings at a rate exceeding the prevailing structural profile (61.0% at Census), underscoring enduring appetite for traditional housing despite broader urban consolidation. With roughly 313 people per dwelling approval, Berala exhibits standard low-density traits. Forecasts indicate that Berala will add 672 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Maintained at ongoing rates, residential building activity appears positioned to satisfy emerging demand, fostering balanced purchasing conditions and potentially facilitating expansion above baseline projections.

4,301 residents of Berala are employed, from a labour force of 4,614. Unemployment sits at 6.8%, with participation at 60.4%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 6,967, about 78% 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 local workforce in Berala is characterized by solid educational attainment and significant participation in professional services, alongside a 6.8% unemployment rate and annual job creation estimated at 3.0%. There were 4,301 residents actively employed as of March 2026. Local unemployment tracks 2.7% above the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, while the labor participation rate of 60.4% remains well below the broader metropolitan mark of 68.9%. Census records show a substantial 31.4% of workers operated from home, a figure potentially influenced by prevailing Covid-19 health directives. Health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing represent the primary employment sectors for local workers.
Manufacturing in particular exhibits notable concentration, maintaining an employment proportion 1.7 times that of the wider metropolitan zone. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 7.7% of the resident workforce, trailing the Greater Sydney level of 11.5%. Given the comparison between Census daytime employment figures and resident worker totals, this predominantly suburban district generates limited commercial job opportunities internally. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that employment grew by 3.0% and the labour force expanded by 3.1% during the 12 months to March 2026, which caused unemployment to rise by 0.1 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labour force growth of 1.9%, leading to a slight decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Berala. These projections, which span five and ten-year periods, have been overlaid with the local employment profile to estimate growth trends. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though these growth rates vary considerably across different industry sectors. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to Berala's employment mix, local employment is expected to rise by 6.5% over five years and by 13.5% over ten years, keeping in mind that this is a straightforward weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised population projections.
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Berala is $1,540 a week (about $80,000 a year), with median personal income at $597 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $46,338 a year against an average of $56,340. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
Data from the ATO compiled by AreaSearch for financial year 2023 indicates that the Berala SA2 recorded a median taxpayer earnings figure of $46,338 and a mean of $56,340. These figures sit below the nationwide norm and trail Greater Sydney, where median and mean incomes stood at $60,817 and $83,003 respectively. Adjusting for 10.32% growth in the Wage Price Index since financial year 2023 yields updated estimates of approximately $51,120 for the median and $62,154 for the average as of March 2026. Census benchmarks place individual weekly earnings at the 11th percentile ($597 weekly), whereas household metrics position stronger at the 37th percentile.
The predominant earnings cohort is the $1,500 - 2,999 bracket, encompassing 32.1% of residents (2,862 people), closely matching the Greater Sydney proportion of 30.9%. Affordability constraints remain pronounced, with 82.3% of income uncommitted to housing costs, ranking the area at the 36th percentile.

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 — 21 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,610 at the 2021 Census → 8,916 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.
