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.

Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. 302 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,176 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
According to data compiled by AreaSearch, the population of Charlestown - Dudley is approximately 26,204 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 950 individuals (3.8%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 25,254 residents. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 26,087, combined with 302 validated new addresses identified since the Census. The resulting population density stands at 1,176 persons per square kilometer, a figure that aligns closely with standard benchmarks across studied areas. Exceeding the broader SA3 region's expansion of 3.2%, the 3.8% rate of growth positions Charlestown - Dudley as a regional leader.
This upward trend was chiefly propelled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 51.6% of the overall population rise in recent times. For each SA2 boundary, AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the anchor year. In cases where these projections are unavailable, SA2 data from the NSW State Government's 2022 release, based on 2021, is utilized. Anticipated expansion rates for various age brackets from these models are also extended to all locations for the span from 2032 to 2041. Projecting forward, population growth is expected to track just below the median rate of regional Australia, with the local population projected to increase by 2,753 individuals by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP statistics, indicating a cumulative rise of 10.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
620 new dwellings have been approved in Charlestown - Dudley over the past five years, an average of 124 a year. That places the area in the 58th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 98 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 35% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Charlestown - Dudley has registered an average of approximately 124 new residential approvals annually, amounting to 620 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 72 approvals have been finalized. Given that 1.4 residents relocated to the district for every finished home between FY-21 and FY-25, the housing market displays a healthy equilibrium between supply and demand, fostering steady conditions, with new builds averaging a construction cost of $323,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $26.1 million during this financial year, pointing to a steady pace of commercial development.
Compared to the Rest of NSW, Charlestown - Dudley registers a slightly higher volume of building approvals, tracking 17.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which provides buyers with options while supporting established real estate values, even though local building velocity has slowed recently. New residential construction consists of 35.0% detached houses and 65.0% multi-unit developments or townhouses. This emphasis on higher-density housing offers cost-effective options and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend departs markedly from the historical housing stock, which is 80.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land and adapting to changing lifestyles and cost-of-living constraints. The district registers about 373 residents for every residential approval, which is characteristic of a fully developed suburb. Future projections indicate Charlestown - Dudley will add 2,636 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. Supported by ongoing building rates, residential supply appears positioned to satisfy this demand, maintaining positive conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating growth that surpasses current projections.

Detail
The workforce in Charlestown - Dudley is highly qualified, with a strong presence in essential services and an unemployment rate of 4.1%. As of March 2026, there are 13,716 employed residents, matching the Regional NSW average unemployment rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation is notably high at 68.4% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW. Census data indicates that 27.1% of employees worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions. The primary sectors of employment for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The region has a pronounced concentration of healthcare & social assistance workers, reaching 1.3 times the regional average. By contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.2% of the workforce compared to the Regional NSW average of 5.3%. Although local employment is available, the ratio of the Census working population to the resident population suggests a large portion of the workforce travels outside the area for employment. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over the 12-month period, the total labour force shrank by 0.4% while employment fell by 2.0%, leading to a 1.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW saw employment fall by 0.9% and the labour force decline by 0.4%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point rise. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate prospective demand patterns in Charlestown - Dudley. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce suggests Charlestown - Dudley's employment could grow by 7.1% over five years and 14.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation for illustration that does not incorporate local population 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 — 302 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (25,254 at the 2021 Census → 26,204 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.
