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
As of Aug 2026, demographic analysis from AreaSearch indicates that Cremorne - Cammeray has a resident count of approximately 19,931. This represents an expansion of 1,026 individuals, or 5.4%, from the 18,905 residents documented at the 2021 Census. Such growth is deduced from an ABS estimated resident population figure of 19,870 as of June 2025 alongside 189 validated new addresses added post-Census. With a density ratio of 6,151 persons per square kilometer, the locality sits within the upper 10% of areas assessed across the country by AreaSearch, underscoring intense demand for local land.
The 5.4% post-Census increase closely tracks the wider SA4 region (5.9%) by 0.5 percentage points, highlighting solid underlying demographic momentum. Furthermore, around 76.4% of total recent population additions were generated via overseas migration. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year, serve as the basis for AreaSearch's SA2 figures, supplemented where necessary by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2022 using a 2021 base year. For the 2032 to 2041 timeframe, age-cohort growth trajectories from these sources are integrated across all localities. Over the coming years, local population gains are projected to track within the nation's bottom quartile, expanding by 384 persons to 2041 relative to current annual ERP benchmarks, representing a cumulative 1.6% rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
209 new dwellings have been approved in Cremorne - Cammeray over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 42 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 12% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential planning approvals across Cremorne - Cammeray have averaged roughly 41 dwellings annually, reaching 209 approved homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Factoring in an average absorption rate of 1.6 new residents per year per dwelling constructed across the 5 financial years from FY-22 to FY-26, construction activity appears well-aligned with local demand, underpinning balanced market fundamentals. The mean construction cost for approved dwellings sits at $1,071,000, pointing to an emphasis among developers on the upmarket residential sector. In addition, commercial approvals have totalled $4.5 million during the ongoing financial year, reflecting modest commercial development activity.
On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Cremorne - Cammeray run at approximately three-quarters the level recorded across Greater Sydney, placing the district in the 42nd percentile nationwide. This constrained pipeline limits available buyer stock and channels sustained interest toward existing properties, notwithstanding a recent uptick in building approvals. It also falls short of national benchmarks, highlighting the established urban setting and potential development constraints. Attached dwellings or apartments comprise 88.0% of new residential development, while detached houses account for 12.0%. This leaning toward higher-density stock creates accessible entry points for first home purchasers, downsizers, and investors. The ratio stands at roughly 356 residents per approved home, reflecting a mature built environment. Moving toward 2041, Cremorne - Cammeray is forecast to add 323 residents compared to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly benchmark. Given prevailing approval rates, incoming residential supply is well positioned to accommodate this anticipated intake, supporting favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling population gains to outpace current projections.

11,887 residents of Cremorne - Cammeray are employed, from a labour force of 12,277. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 72.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,768, about 79% 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 local labour pool in Cremorne - Cammeray is characterized by advanced qualifications, pronounced concentration within the technology industry, a low jobless rate of 3.2%, and an estimated 1.5% increase in employment over the preceding twelve months. By March 2026, employed residents reached 11,887, with unemployment sitting 1.0% below the Greater Sydney figure of 4.1%. Workforce engagement remains healthy at 72.1%, outpacing the Greater Sydney rate of 68.9%. Census records show 65.6% of local workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for residents include professional & technical services, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance.
Professional & technical roles are exceptionally prominent, with local resident concentration reaching 1.8 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, the construction sector represents just 4.6% of local jobs compared to 8.6% across the wider region. As a predominantly residential neighborhood, the disparity between the Census working population and resident workforce points to limited employment capacity within the immediate boundary. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that local employment expanded by 1.5% over the 12-month timeframe as the overall labour force grew by 1.4%, lowering the local unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney, employment lifted by 1.9%, the labour force grew by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. National employment outlooks released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context on future workforce requirements for Cremorne - Cammeray. Applying these five-year and ten-year national industry forecasts to the local occupational breakdown—which project overall Australian employment growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years—suggests local jobs could expand by 7.6% over five years and 15.1% over ten years (note that this weighted calculation serves illustrative purposes and excludes localized population models).

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 — 189 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (18,905 at the 2021 Census → 19,931 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 Aug 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.
