An assessment of population growth drivers in Edensor Park reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

Edensor Park's population was around 10,279 people as of Aug 2021. This decreased to approximately 10,203 by Aug 2025, a decline of 76 people (0.7%). The ABS estimated the resident population at 10,193 in June 2024, with an additional 12 validated new addresses since the Census date contributing to this change. This results in a population density ratio of 3,291 persons per square kilometer, placing Edensor Park in the upper quartile nationally according to AreaSearch's assessments. While Edensor Park experienced a decline since the census, the SA3 area achieved growth of 2.0%, indicating divergent trends. Overseas migration drove recent population growth, contributing approximately 77.7% of overall gains.

AreaSearch uses 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 utilizes NSW State Government's SA2 level projections from 2022 using the 2021 Census as the base year. Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Future trends suggest a population increase just below the national median, with Edensor Park expected to expand by 461 persons to 2041, reflecting an overall increase of 4.4% over the 17-year period.

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 has 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 6 approved so far in FY-26.

The population decline in recent years suggests that new supply has likely been meeting demand, offering good choices for buyers. New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost value of $305,000, which is under regional levels, indicating more accessible housing options for buyers. Compared to Greater Sydney, Edensor Park has roughly half the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and ranks among the 43rd percentile of areas assessed nationally, suggesting somewhat limited buyer options while strengthening demand for established properties. This activity is also lower than national averages, reflecting market maturity and possible development constraints.

Recent construction comprises 95% standalone homes and 5% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area's traditional suburban character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. With around 397 people per dwelling approval, Edensor Park indicates a developed market. Looking ahead, Edensor Park is expected to grow by approximately 450 residents by 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.

Edensor Park has seen below average employment performance when compared to national benchmarks

Edensor Park's workforce is skilled with strong representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors. The unemployment rate was 5.1% as of June 2024, with an estimated employment growth of 5.7%.

As of June 2025, the unemployment rate is 5.0%, which is 0.9% higher than Greater Sydney's rate of 4.2%. Workforce participation in Edensor Park lags behind Greater Sydney at 45.7% compared to 60.0%. Leading employment industries among residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The area has a notable concentration in manufacturing, with employment levels at 1.8 times the regional average.

However, professional & technical services employ only 6.3% of local workers, below Greater Sydney's 11.5%. Employment opportunities locally may be limited as indicated by the difference between Census working population and resident population. In the year to June 2025, employment levels increased by 5.7%, while labour force increased by 5.0%, causing a drop in unemployment rate of 0.6 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 2.6% with unemployment rising slightly by 0.3 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May 2025 project national employment to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Edensor Park's employment mix suggests local growth of approximately 6.1%% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes only.
