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 by AreaSearch, the population of Concord - Mortlake - Cabarita stands at approximately 24,052 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 939 residents (4.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 23,113 individuals. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 24,026 alongside 41 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Such population levels translate to a density of 3,805 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the highest national quartile of locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Throughout the prior decade, Concord - Mortlake - Cabarita has shown steady growth with a compound annual rate of 0.7%, ahead of the broader SA3 area. The primary driver of this population growth has been overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 87.8% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch utilizes projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline. The age bracket growth rates derived from these sources are likewise applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic shifts, growth is predicted to fall in the national lower quartile, with the suburb expected to add 1,022 residents by 2041 compared to the latest annual ERP statistics, indicating a total increase of 4.1% over the 16 years.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years.

The working-day population is estimated at 19,660, about 82% 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.

The workforce in Concord - Mortlake - Cabarita is highly educated, featuring a strong concentration of professional services and an unemployment rate of only 2.5%. As of March 2026, 13,045 residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 1.6% lower than the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1%, while workforce participation is slightly lower than typical (64.7% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents, 50.3%, worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted in light of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. The leading employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
The area exhibits a notable concentration in rental, hiring & real estate, with its employment share reaching 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing is under-represented, employing only 3.5% of the Concord - Mortlake - Cabarita workforce compared to 5.3% across Greater Sydney. Comparing the Census working population against the resident population indicates that this largely residential area offers relatively few local jobs. According to AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the labor force contracted by 1.8% and total employment fell by 1.8% during the year ending March 2026, while unemployment levels remained virtually constant. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, alongside a slight decline. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand trends in Concord - Mortlake - Cabarita. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with local employment statistics to project growth trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Concord - Mortlake - Cabarita suggests local employment will rise by 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes 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 — 41 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (23,113 at the 2021 Census → 24,052 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 (120011383). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
