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
Based on analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Campsie - North is approximately 12,785 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 880 people (7.4%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 11,905 people. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 12,771 in June 2025 and 65 validated new addresses added since the Census. With these figures, the density of the area stands at 8,143 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the highest 10% of all country-wide areas analysed by AreaSearch, pointing to extremely competitive land demand.
The 7.4% expansion rate in Campsie - North since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 area (5.2%) as well as the SA4 region, establishing it as a local growth pacesetter. This upward trend was mostly generated by arrivals from overseas, which represented roughly 96.8% of the net population increases in recent times. For each SA2 territory, AreaSearch uses projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, utilizing 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions where this data is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied. The growth rates for specific age cohorts derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these expected demographic transitions, population growth is anticipated to run slightly below the national median, with the local population projected to increase by 1,118 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, indicating a total expansion of 8.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
54 new dwellings have been approved in Campsie - North over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 0.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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
An average of roughly 10 new dwelling approvals has been registered yearly in Campsie - North, amounting to 54 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 10 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of 4.7 new residents added for each completed home over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), local demand is outstripping supply by a wide margin, a situation that commonly puts upward pressure on dwelling prices and intensifies buyer rivalry, even as new residential builds are approved at an average value of $265,000—a level below regional benchmarks that indicates more accessible price points for buyers.
Additionally, commercial approvals worth $775,000 have been logged this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential character of the suburb. Compared against the wider Greater Sydney region, building development in Campsie - North is notably subdued, tracking at 68.0% below regional average per person. This low volume of new completions generally supports demand and reinforces values for existing properties. This rate of activity is also below the national average, reflecting a mature market environment and indicating potential planning constraints. The mix of new construction consists of 62.0% detached dwellings and 38.0% attached dwellings, offering a diversifying range of townhouses and apartments to suit different budgets, from family residences to more affordable compact options. Notably, builders are focusing more on traditional houses than the historical housing stock would suggest (which stood at 26.0% at Census), showing that demand for detached family residences remains high despite overall density pressures. The area records about 1843 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating the established nature of the local market. Projecting forward, the population of Campsie - North is set to expand by 1,104 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current pace, additions to the housing stock may fall behind population growth, which is likely to heighten competition among buyers and support future price appreciation.

6,547 residents of Campsie - North are employed, from a labour force of 6,855. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 59.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,288, about 80% 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 Campsie - North is characterized by high levels of education and employment across diverse industries, with an unemployment rate of 4.5% and a 3.0% expansion in estimated employment over the previous year. As of March 2026, there are 6,547 employed residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.4% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is considerably lower (59.7% versus 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census records indicate that a substantial 31.9% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of pandemic lockdown restrictions.
Local residents are predominantly employed in the health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food sectors. The locality exhibits a strong concentration in accommodation & food, where the employment share is 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical services are under-represented, accounting for only 7.2% of the local workforce compared to 11.5% across Greater Sydney. Comparing the Census working population against the resident population reveals that this predominantly residential suburb offers relatively few jobs within its own boundaries. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that in the 12 months leading to March 2026, the number of employed residents grew by 3.0% and the total labor force grew by 3.5%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This stands in contrast to Greater Sydney, where employment increased by 1.9%, the labor force expanded by 1.9%, and the unemployment rate decreased slightly. National employment projections from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends in Campsie - North. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local industry profile to model potential expansion. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates of change vary widely by sector. Applying these sectoral trends to the local industry mix suggests that employment for residents of Campsie - North is on track to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate 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 — 65 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,905 at the 2021 Census → 12,785 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.
