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
Cabramatta - Lansvale has an estimated 24,291 residents, up from 24,101 at the 2021 Census. That puts 3,196 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
Demographic assessment by AreaSearch indicates that the resident count of Cabramatta - Lansvale stands at approximately 24,291 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2021 Census tally of 24,101 people, this represents an addition of 190 people (0.8%). This adjustment is derived from ABS estimated resident population figures of 24,261 as of June 2025 alongside 22 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. Consequently, population density sits at 3,196 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the upper quartile of places evaluated across Australia by AreaSearch. The post-Census expansion of 0.8% places the community within 1.3 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (2.1%), highlighting resilient growth metrics.
Inbound international migration served as the core growth driver, accounting for roughly 98.3% of net population additions in recent periods. Projections for SA2 districts published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to 2022) are adopted by AreaSearch, with gaps supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 series utilizing 2021 baseline data. Age-cohort growth trends from these datasets are projected forward across all territories for 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, population growth is anticipated to track slightly under the national median for statistical regions, adding 2,357 persons through to 2041 under latest annual ERP figures, which equates to a cumulative 9.6% expansion across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
357 new dwellings have been approved in Cabramatta - Lansvale over the past five years, an average of 71 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 71 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 62% 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 in Cabramatta - Lansvale have averaged roughly 71 per year, delivering 357 homes over the last 5 financial years. Given recent population contractions, incoming supply has generally balanced local demand to sustain buyer choice, with average construction costs of $379,000 per dwelling sitting below regional benchmarks to provide relatively attainable housing options. Concurrently, commercial building approvals reached $23.4 million during this financial year, pointing to a moderate volume of non-residential development. Dwelling approval rates per capita in Cabramatta - Lansvale track at approximately two-thirds of Greater Sydney levels and place in the 41st percentile nationally, constraining buyer selection while supporting established residential values.
This below-average national rate underscores the established urban landscape and potential regulatory boundaries. Approved residential structures comprise 62.0% detached houses and 38.0% medium and high-density housing, expanding medium-density inventory to provide options across diverse budgets, ranging from standalone homes to compact builds. Current construction exhibits a stronger orientation toward detached housing than the existing stock profile (45.0% at Census), underscoring steady demand for detached residences despite higher-density initiatives. A ratio of around 363 people per approval highlights a mature residential market. Demographic projections suggest an influx of 2,326 residents into Cabramatta - Lansvale through to 2041, based on recent AreaSearch quarterly reporting. Given ongoing building trends, incoming residential development is expected to satisfy buyer requirements smoothly, maintaining balanced conditions and potentially accommodating population growth above baseline projections.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 21,788, about 90% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in.

Detail
Featuring an industrial and manufacturing base, the Cabramatta - Lansvale workforce registers an unemployment rate of 5.8% alongside a 4.9% increase in estimated employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 10,839. The local jobless rate exceeds Greater Sydney's 4.1% by 1.7%, while the labor participation rate of 54.4% trails Greater Sydney's 68.9% substantially. Census records show 19.9% of workers operating from home, though historical Covid-19 restrictions may have influenced these figures. Resident employment centers predominantly around manufacturing, retail trade, alongside health care & social assistance.
Manufacturing shows high local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 2.9 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.8% of employed locals, trailing Greater Sydney's 11.5%. A comparison between resident numbers and Census workplace counts suggests that the area serves primarily as a residential district with modest internal job provision. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM series for the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 4.9% and the labor force expanded by 5.0%, maintaining a steady unemployment rate. In Greater Sydney, employment and labor supply both rose by 1.9%, accompanied by a slight decrease in joblessness. Further perspectives on labor demand are provided by Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26 across five- and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct sectoral differences. Weighting these industry projections against Cabramatta - Lansvale's workforce distribution indicates prospective local employment growth of 5.5% over five years and 12.0% over ten years (representing a direct illustrative weighting that excludes specific local demographic 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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (24,101 at the 2021 Census → 24,291 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.
