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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Drummoyne - Rodd Point stands at roughly 19,186 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 820 people (4.5%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 18,366 people. This adjustment is derived by combining the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 19,158 with 110 validated new addresses added post-Census. With 5,185 persons per square kilometer, local population density places within the highest 10% across the country in AreaSearch assessments, generating intense competition for local land. The local expansion rate of 4.5% post-census is within 1.1 percentage points of the broader SA3 benchmark (5.6%), reflecting solid underlying demographic momentum.
Overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 83.4% of total recent population additions. SA2 projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia (benchmarked to 2022) form the baseline for AreaSearch's forward modelling, while gaps are supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 figures (benchmarked to 2021). Age-bracket growth rates across these datasets are extended to project local figures between 2032 and 2041. Under this framework, future demographic trends indicate a slight contraction overall, shedding 99 persons by 2041. In contrast, older cohorts will experience notable expansion, particularly individuals aged 85 and over, who are forecast to increase by 606 people. Further age-specific breakdowns are detailed in the age section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
324 new dwellings have been approved in Drummoyne - Rodd Point over the past five years, an average of 64 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 65 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% 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 building approvals in Drummoyne - Rodd Point have tracked at roughly 64 new homes per annum, totalling 324 homes over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because approximately 1 people have entered the community for every new residence constructed over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to stock appear aligned with local demand, supporting stable conditions. Furthermore, average approved residential construction values stand at $821,000, underscoring a strategic emphasis by builders on upmarket, higher-tier housing projects. Meanwhile, commercial construction approvals reached $15.8 million in the ongoing financial year, pointing to consistent non-residential capital injection.
Per capita building approvals in Drummoyne - Rodd Point track 62.0% below the Greater Sydney average, signifying comparatively muted construction volumes. This constrained volume of new additions typically underpins demand and pricing across pre-existing dwellings, despite an uptick in recent building work. Construction rates also sit beneath national norms, illustrating the established character of the area alongside potential planning hurdles. Recent approvals divide into 45.0% separate houses and 55.0% medium-to-high density formats such as townhouses and apartments. This shift toward attached housing delivers more accessible price points suited to downsizers, first-time purchasers, and investors. Reflecting approximately 275 people per dwelling approval, Drummoyne - Rodd Point displays low-density attributes. Given that forward population estimates point toward static or slightly contracting resident numbers, Drummoyne - Rodd Point is anticipated to experience softer dwelling demand pressures, offering favorable conditions for prospective property buyers.

11,199 residents of Drummoyne - Rodd Point are employed, from a labour force of 11,438. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 70.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,765, 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.
Detail
The local workforce in Drummoyne - Rodd Point is exceptionally credentialed, featuring strong participation in the technology sector and an unemployment rate of merely 2.1%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 11,199, while the local jobless rate sat 2.0% beneath the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Workforce participation mirrors the broader regional benchmark of 68.9%. Census records indicated that 57.5% of employed locals conducted their work from home, though this figure reflects conditions during Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are primarily concentrated in professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance.
Drummoyne - Rodd Point exhibits a pronounced specialization in professional & technical fields, where the local concentration is 1.3 times the Greater Sydney benchmark. Conversely, the retail trade sector is underrepresented, employing 6.8% of the local workforce compared to 9.3% across Greater Sydney. Census comparisons between local workers and resident workers highlight the heavily residential setting, which offers relatively few workplace positions within the boundary itself. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM releases indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 1.7% and total employment fell by 1.8%, keeping unemployment virtually unchanged. In contrast, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment alongside a 1.9% increase in its labour force, leading to a small drop in joblessness. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements across five-year and ten-year horizons. Nationally, total jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge by sector. Applying these national industry rates to the local employment distribution suggests Drummoyne - Rodd Point could experience workforce growth of 7.2% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (noting this calculation represents a simple weighted projection and excludes localised population changes).

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 — 110 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (18,366 at the 2021 Census → 19,186 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.
