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 8,910 residents, up from 8,610 at the 2021 Census — a change of 300 people, or 3.5%. That puts 4,263 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Berala is approximated at 8,910 in May 2026. Compared to the 8,610 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a growth of 300 residents (3.5%). The figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 8,895 alongside 21 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population scale translates to a density of 4,263 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the top 10% of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch, indicating that local land is a highly coveted asset.
Growth during recent timeframes was mostly fueled by net overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 83.6% of the total population increases. AreaSearch utilizes projections for each SA2 region published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch references projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, issued in 2022 with a 2021 baseline. Age category expansion rates derived from these datasets are applied to all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on anticipated demographic shifts, the locality is projected to experience population expansion slightly below the median of national statistical areas, with a forecasted increase of 703 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, indicating a total growth of 7.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
140 new dwellings have been approved in Berala over the past five years, an average of 28 a year. That is 3.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 82% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, 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
Berala has averaged approximately 28 residential development approvals annually, with 140 residential completions approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 21 recorded for FY-26 to date. Given the recent decline in population, this incoming supply has likely matched local demand, providing purchasers with ample options, with new homes built at an average estimated value of $319,000. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $4.3 million were registered this financial year, highlighting the primarily residential nature of the suburb. Building activity in Berala is notably quiet compared to Greater Sydney, tracking 66.0% below the regional per capita average.
This constrained pipeline of new additions generally helps reinforce demand and values for existing properties. The volume also falls short of national averages, pointing to the mature state of the local market and possible planning restrictions. Approved construction comprises 82.0% detached houses and 18.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining the suburban character through a focus on detached dwellings that appeal to buyers wanting space. Notably, developers are constructing traditional houses at a higher rate than the current housing stock indicates (which was 61.0% at the Census), demonstrating persistent demand for detached family residences despite density trends. The area averages roughly 278 people for each dwelling approval, signifying a low-density marketplace. Looking forward, Berala is projected to add 688 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimation. Assuming current construction paces persist, the supply of new dwellings should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially helping to facilitate population expansion above current projections.

4,301 residents of Berala are employed, from a labour force of 4,614. Unemployment sits at 6.8%, with participation at 60.5%. 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 6,961, 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 well-educated, showing solid representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of 6.8%, and a 3.0% expansion in estimated employment over the previous year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,301, while the unemployment rate was 2.7% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and labor force participation stood significantly lower (60.5% versus 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census data indicated a high proportion of 31.4% of residents working from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing.
The suburb displays a strong specialization in manufacturing, where the employment proportion is 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles employ only 7.7% of the local workforce, which is below the 11.5% average for Greater Sydney. This predominantly residential suburb appears to provide few local jobs, as highlighted by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident population. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the year leading to March 2026, the count of employed individuals grew by 3.0% and the labor force grew by 3.1%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9%, the labor force expand by 1.9%, and unemployment decrease slightly. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional perspective on potential demand trends in Berala. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth rates vary widely by industry. Weighing these sector-specific forecasts against Berala's industry mix suggests local employment could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not account for 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 — 21 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,610 at the 2021 Census → 8,910 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (125011585). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
