Edensor Park's population, as of November 2025, is approximately 10,207, a decrease of 72 people from the 2021 Census figure of 10,279. This decline represents a 0.7% change since the census date. The estimated resident population in June 2024 was 10,194, with an additional 13 validated new addresses since then contributing to this decrease. This results in a population density of 3,292 persons per square kilometer, placing Edensor Park in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. While Edensor Park experienced a 0.7% decline since census, the SA3 area achieved 2.2% growth, indicating divergent population trends. Overseas migration contributed approximately 77.7% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. By 2041, Edensor Park is expected to have a population increase just below the national median, expanding by 461 persons over the 17-year period, reflecting an overall increase of 4.4%.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Edensor Park, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Edensor Park averaged approximately 26 new dwelling approvals per year. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25132 homes were approved, with an additional 10 approved so far in FY-26.

The average construction cost value of these dwellings was around $242,000, which is below regional levels, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers. Despite a declining population in recent years, the new supply has likely been keeping up with demand, offering good choices to buyers. In comparison to Greater Sydney, Edensor Park has roughly half the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and ranks among the 42nd percentile nationally, indicating somewhat limited buyer options but strengthening demand for established properties. This activity is also lower than the national average, reflecting a mature market and possible development constraints.

Recent construction comprised 95% standalone homes and 5% townhouses or apartments, maintaining Edensor Park's traditional suburban character with a focus on family homes. With around 397 people per dwelling approval, Edensor Park shows a developed market. Looking ahead, AreaSearch estimates that Edensor Park is expected to grow by approximately 446 residents by 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current projections.
