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
Cambridge Park has an estimated 16,446 residents, up from 16,004 at the 2021 Census — a change of 442 people, or 2.8%. That puts 2,496 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 AreaSearch's evaluation, the population of Cambridge Park stands at approximately 16,446 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 442 residents (2.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 16,004 citizens. This fluctuation is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 16,414 alongside 35 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,495 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the highest quartile of all locations analyzed nationally by AreaSearch. The population expansion was mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 66.5% of the total population gains in recent times.
AreaSearch incorporates population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 using 2022 as the starting year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline are implemented. Age cohort growth rates derived from these sources are extended to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections suggest that population growth will rank just under the median of all statistical locations assessed by AreaSearch, with the suburb projected to add 811 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total expansion of 4.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
267 new dwellings have been approved in Cambridge Park over the past five years, an average of 53 a year. That is 3.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 74% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 41, 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
Cambridge Park recorded an average of approximately 53 new dwelling approvals per year, summing up to 267 residential properties over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 38 approvals have been registered. Given that only 0.8 people per year moved to the suburb for each home constructed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), residential construction matches or exceeds incoming demand, presenting purchasers with more options and supporting population growth that may outpace current projections, with new homes built at an average value of $189,000—under the regional baseline—pointing to more budget-friendly housing choices for buyers.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $9.7 million this financial year, pointing to steady commercial development. In comparison to Greater Sydney, construction activity per capita in Cambridge Park is approximately half, ranking in the 46th percentile of locations analyzed nationwide, which translates to fewer choices for buyers and reinforces demand for established housing. This level is also lower than the national average, reflecting the mature state of the area and pointing to prospective planning constraints. Recent building activity is composed of 74.0% detached houses and 26.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the area's established suburban feel focused on family residences for those prioritizing space. This marks a major shift from the existing housing stock (which consists of 92.0% houses), indicating fewer vacant development lots and reflecting changing lifestyle preferences and cost considerations. With a ratio of roughly 368 people per residential approval, Cambridge Park presents a mature real estate market. Looking forward, the population of Cambridge Park is projected to increase by 779 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Under ongoing construction trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially driving population gains beyond current forecasts.

8,458 residents of Cambridge Park are employed, from a labour force of 8,815. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 67.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,835, 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 workforce of Cambridge Park is evenly split between white-collar and blue-collar roles, with the construction sector showing particularly strong local representation, and the unemployment rate sits at 4.0%. As of March 2026, there are 8,458 employed residents, while the unemployment rate is comparable to the Greater Sydney level of 4.1%, and the participation rate is very close to the Greater Sydney figure of 69.1%. Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents, 27.3%, worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted alongside the influence of COVID-19 lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The suburb displays a strong employment concentration in construction, where its share is 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 3.9% of the local workforce, which is below the 11.5% seen across Greater Sydney. The highly residential nature of the area appears to limit local job availability, as shown by comparing the count of Census local workers to resident workers. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the local labor force contracted by 3.9% and total employment fell by 4.0% during the year ending March 2026, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Meanwhile, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, alongside a slight drop. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends in Cambridge Park. These five and ten-year forecasts have been correlated with local employment profiles to estimate growth trends. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with substantial variation across different industries. Applying these industry projections to the employment composition of Cambridge Park suggests local jobs will grow by 6.2% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and excludes localized 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 — 35 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (16,004 at the 2021 Census → 16,446 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.
