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.

Sales Detail
Edensor Park has an estimated 10,223 residents, down from 10,279 at the 2021 Census. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 94% of areas nationally. That puts 3,298 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Edensor Park is estimated to be approximately 10,223 in May 2026. This represents a reduction of 56 residents (0.5%) from the 10,279 people counted during the 2021 Census. The calculation is derived from ABS estimated resident population statistics of 10,213 for June 2025 combined with 14 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population size results in a density of 3,297 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch. In contrast to the 0.5% contraction observed in Edensor Park, the broader SA3 region recorded a 2.0% expansion, demonstrating differing growth dynamics.
The main factor driving local population increases in recent times was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 82.8% of all population gains. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which use 2022 as their baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking these figures, the 2022 projections from the NSW State Government, based on 2021 numbers, are used instead. The age bracket growth rates calculated from these sources are also applied to all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest the local population will grow at a rate slightly below the national median, with an anticipated increase of 442 residents by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a 4.2% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
132 new dwellings have been approved in Edensor Park over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Edensor Park averages approximately 26 residential development approvals annually, with 132 homes approved during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 25 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. Given the population decline in recent times, this level of building activity is relatively sufficient, offering a favorable scenario for buyers, especially since new structures carry an average building cost of $242,000—a figure below the regional average that indicates more budget-friendly options for home buyers. Per capita construction volumes in Edensor Park are roughly half of those observed in Greater Sydney, ranking in the 41st percentile of all assessed localities nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains interest in the established housing stock.
This volume also falls below the national average, reflecting the established status of the suburb and suggesting potential planning constraints. Detached houses constitute 95.0% of recent construction, while townhouses or apartments make up the remaining 5.0%, preserving the classic suburban feel centered around spacious family residences. There are approximately 398 residents for every building approval, highlighting the mature nature of the locality. Projections indicate that Edensor Park will add 432 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The current pace of development suggests that incoming housing supply will easily accommodate this demand, establishing positive conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating growth that exceeds current demographic forecasts.

4,752 residents of Edensor Park are employed, from a labour force of 5,016. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 58.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,253, about 81% 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
Edensor Park has a skilled resident labor force with a notable concentration in industrial and manufacturing fields, an unemployment rate of 5.3%, and a 5.2% expansion in jobs over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,752, while the local unemployment rate stood 1.1% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, and workforce participation was considerably lower at 58.6% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that 33.3% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 containment measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community displays a strong specialization in manufacturing, where employment is 1.8 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 6.3% of the local workforce, compared to 11.5% in Greater Sydney. The differences between the Census working population and resident population counts suggest that this primarily residential suburb offers limited local employment opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12-month window, employment grew by 5.2% and the labor force expanded by 5.1%, leading to a 0.1 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% increase in the labor force, and a minor reduction in unemployment. Local employment patterns can be contextualized using national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future trends. Although national employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by industry. Applying these sectoral forecasts to the industry mix of Edensor Park indicates that local employment would grow by 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local demographic forecasts.

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 — 14 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,279 at the 2021 Census → 10,223 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 May 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (127021514). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
