Edensor Park

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

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Edensor Park's population is around 10,338 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 59 people (0.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,279 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 10,192 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 13 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level equates to a density ratio of 3,334 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration, which contributed approximately 77.7% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. As we examine future population trends, a population increase just below the median of national areas is expected, with the area expected to expand by 461 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an increase of 3.0% in total over the 17 years.

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 around 26 new dwelling approvals per year, with 132 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 12 so far in FY-26. With the population declining over recent years, new supply has likely kept up with demand, offering good choice to buyers, while new homes are being built at an average value of $242,000—under regional levels—indicating more accessible housing choices for buyers.

Relative to Greater Sydney, Edensor Park has around half the rate of new dwelling approvals per person, placing it in the 42nd percentile of areas assessed nationally. This suggests somewhat limited buyer options and strengthening demand for established properties. This activity is also lower than the national average, reflecting market maturity and pointing to possible development constraints. Recent construction comprises 95.0% standalone homes and 5.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area'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, Edensor Park is expected to grow by 315 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). 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 features a skilled workforce, with manufacturing and industrial sectors strongly represented, an unemployment rate of 5.1%, and 6.0% estimated employment growth over the past year. As of December 2025, 4,706 residents are in work, while the unemployment rate is 0.9% above Greater Sydney's rate of 4.2%, and workforce participation lags significantly (58.0% compared to Greater Sydney's 70.2%). Based on Census responses, a high 33.3% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.

Leading employment industries among residents comprise health care and social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The area demonstrates a particularly notable concentration in manufacturing, with employment levels at 1.8 times the regional average. In contrast, professional and technical services employ just 6.3% of local workers, below Greater Sydney's 11.5%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of the Census working population versus the resident population.

Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, during the year to December 2025, employment levels increased by 6.0% and the labour force increased by 5.0%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 1.0 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 2.2% and labour force growth of 2.3%, with unemployment rising marginally. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Edensor Park. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Edensor Park's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

The area's income profile falls below national averages based on AreaSearch analysis

The Edensor Park SA2 shows a median taxpayer income of $50,687 and an average of $62,741 according to the latest postcode level ATO data aggregated by AreaSearch for FY-23. This is lower than average on a national basis, contrasting with Greater Sydney's median income of $60,817 and average income of $83,003. Based on Wage Price Index growth of 8.86% since FY-23, current estimates would be approximately $55,178 (median) and $68,300 (average) as of September 2025. According to 2021 Census figures, individual incomes lag at the 6th percentile ($538 weekly), while household income performs better at the 54th percentile. The data shows the $1,500 - 2,999 bracket dominates with 33.3% of residents (3,442 people), mirroring regional levels where 30.9% occupy this bracket. High housing costs consume 15.9% of income, though strong earnings still place disposable income at the 55th percentile.
