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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Bondi Beach - North Bondi is close to 22,718 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,013 residents (9.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 20,705 individuals. This shifting demographic is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 22,633 combined with 114 validated new addresses documented after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 9,235 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of all areas evaluated nationwide and highlighting the extreme demand for local land.
The area's 9.7% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (5.6%) and the state, positioning the suburb as a regional growth leader. The primary driver of this population increase was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 81.6% of the total demographic gains in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For any SA2 locations omitted from this dataset, the 2022 release of NSW State Government SA2 projections with a 2021 baseline is substituted. Age group growth trajectories derived from these aggregations are applied to all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest an expansion rate slightly below the national median, with the local population projected to grow by 1,981 individuals by 2041 when measured against the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total rise of 8.3% over the 16 years.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 17,464, about 77% 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 Bondi Beach - North Bondi is characterized by high levels of education, with particularly strong representation in the technology sector, a low unemployment rate of 2.5%, and an estimated 2.0% expansion in employment over the preceding year. There were 15,766 employed residents in March 2026, and the local unemployment rate sat 1.6% lower than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%. Workforce participation is also exceptionally high at 82.0%, compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that a substantial 64.4% of employed locals worked from home, although this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The dominant employment sectors for residents are professional & technical services, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance. The local concentration of professional & technical workers is especially high, running at 2.0 times the average across the wider region. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 9.1% of the local workforce, compared to 14.1% throughout Greater Sydney. The imbalance between the local working population and the number of local jobs suggests that this predominantly residential suburb offers few internal employment opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, both total employment and the overall labor force grew by 2.0%, leaving unemployment virtually static. In comparison, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% increase in the labor force, and a slight decrease in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand in Bondi Beach - North Bondi. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local industry mix to model potential employment trajectories. Although nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion varies widely by sector. Applying these sectoral projections to the workforce profile of Bondi Beach - North Bondi yields an estimated local employment increase of 7.5% over five years and 14.6% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local population growth models).

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 — 114 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,705 at the 2021 Census → 22,718 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 (118011340). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
