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.

Condell Park has an estimated 13,638 residents, up from 12,773 at the 2021 Census — a change of 865 people, or 6.8%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 323 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 56.1% of that increase.

Detail
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Condell Park is estimated to be roughly 13,638 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 865 residents (6.8%) relative to the 12,773 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. The adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,584 combined with 323 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level yields a density of 1,363 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure for national locations analyzed by AreaSearch. The 6.8% increase in Condell Park since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (5.4%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a local growth frontrunner.
This population growth was chiefly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 56.1% of the total population gains in recent times. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch adopts projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth trends derived from these sources are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections suggest an increase just under the median of all analyzed locations, with the area projected to add 937 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, indicating a total growth of 6.5% over the 16-year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
341 new dwellings have been approved in Condell Park over the past five years, an average of 68 a year. That places the area in the 65th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 51 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 37% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 56, 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
Condell Park averages approximately 68 residential approvals annually, totaling 341 residential permits over the previous 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 52 during the current FY-26. Over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), an average of 2.3 individuals have relocated to the area for every new dwelling built, demonstrating strong demand that bolsters local real estate values. New housing is constructed at an average cost of $281,000, which sits below regional averages and provides more budget-friendly purchasing options. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $98.7 million this financial year, pointing to active business investment in the locality.
Compared with Greater Sydney, building activity levels per capita in Condell Park are similar, preserving a supply balance aligned with the wider metropolitan market. Newly approved construction consists of 37.0% detached houses and 63.0% medium or high-density dwellings like townhouses and apartments. This shift toward denser housing formats offers affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the existing housing stock (which stands at 66.0% detached houses), reflecting a scarcity of vacant land and addressing changing preferences and budget limits. With approximately 325 residents per approved dwelling, Condell Park exhibits a transitioning property market. Looking forward, the population of Condell Park is projected to rise by 880 people by 2041 based on the latest quarterly estimation from AreaSearch. At the current pace of construction, the supply of new dwellings should easily satisfy this demand, maintaining favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling growth that outpaces current projections.

The early works Review of Environmental Factors (REF) was approved on 24 January 2026, and the State Significant Development Application (SSD-105396208) was lodged on 10 April 2026 with submissions closing 7 May 2026. Main works construction is expected to start in 2027 subject to planning approval, with completion targeted for 2031. Existing Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital on Eldridge Road will continue operating throughout construction and later be repurposed for community health services.
5,584 residents of Condell Park are employed, from a labour force of 6,077. Unemployment sits at 8.1%, with participation at 57.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 18,066, about 132% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Condell Park boasts a skilled workforce with diverse sector representation, an unemployment rate of 8.1%, and an estimated employment growth of 2.9% over the past year. As of March 2026, 5,584 residents are in work while the unemployment rate stands at 4.0% above Greater Sydney's rate of 4.1%, indicating room for improvement, and workforce participation lags significantly at 57.0% compared to Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Based on Census responses, a high 32.5% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. The primary employment fields for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
The community exhibits a notable concentration in retail trade, where the proportion of jobs is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for just 6.7% of local workers compared to 11.5% in Greater Sydney. With a ratio of 1.1 workers for every local resident at the time of the Census, the area operates as a job center, containing more positions than resident workers and drawing commuters from neighboring suburbs. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS figures, the period ending March 2026 saw employment levels grow by 2.9% while the labour force expanded by 3.6%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.6 percentage points. Greater Sydney showed a different pattern with both employment and labour force growing by 1.9%, resulting in a slight decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia released national employment forecasts in May-25 that provide additional context regarding future demand in Condell Park. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to project potential growth trajectories. Over the five-year span, national employment is projected to rise by 6.6%, and over ten years it is projected to rise by 13.7%, though sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these sectoral estimates are weighted against Condell Park's current employment composition, local employment is expected to grow by 6.4% over five years and by 13.2% over ten years, keeping in mind that this is a basic weighting exercise for illustrative use and 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 — 323 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,773 at the 2021 Census → 13,638 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 (119011356). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
