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 10,236 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 3,302 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 research from AreaSearch, the resident count in Edensor Park stands at approximately 10,236 as of Aug 2026. This represents a contraction of 43 people (0.4%) compared with the 10,279 people counted during the 2021 Census. Such a figure is derived by factoring in the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 10,213 alongside 16 validated new addresses documented following the census. With 3,301 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density sits within the highest national quartile analyzed by AreaSearch. In contrast to the 0.4% contraction in Edensor Park post-census, the wider SA3 area expanded by 2.1%, showing divergent demographic trajectories.
Over recent spans, population expansion was driven predominantly by overseas arrivals, who accounted for roughly 82.8% of aggregate population additions. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as a base year are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 modeling with a 2021 base year where gaps exist. Furthermore, age-cohort growth trajectories from these datasets are mapped across all territories between 2032 to 2041. Looking toward long-term demographic shifts, expansion is projected to track marginally below the national median for statistical regions, adding 419 persons by 2041 relative to current annual ERP benchmarks, amounting to an overall 16 years rise of 3.9%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
133 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 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 92% 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
Building authorizations within Edensor Park have tracked at roughly 26 residential units annually, yielding a total of 133 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. With the local resident base contracting recently, this rate of construction represents a sufficient volume that supports prospective purchasers, while an average building cost of $296,000—below wider regional benchmarks—provides comparatively budget-friendly choices for purchasers. Per capita residential consents in Edensor Park run at approximately two-thirds of the Greater Sydney benchmark and sit at the 37th percentile across the country, creating tighter inventory for purchasers and underpinning demand across established properties.
This below-average national standing mirrors the established character of the suburb and points to possible planning limits. Detached houses comprise 92.0% of recent approvals alongside 8.0% attached dwellings, maintaining a classic suburban landscape of spacious family dwellings. With roughly 411 people per approval, the suburb displays the characteristics of a mature residential market. Demographic outlooks anticipate Edensor Park expanding by 396 residents up to 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current building activity is well placed to accommodate incoming housing requirements, fostering advantageous conditions for purchasers and potentially supporting demographic expansion above current estimates.

4,752 residents of Edensor Park are employed, from a labour force of 5,016. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 58.7%. 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 8,266, 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
The local labour force in Edensor Park is skilled, displaying strong representation across manufacturing and industrial trades, an unemployment rate of 5.3%, and estimated twelve-month job growth of 5.2%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,752, while joblessness sat 1.1% higher than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, and workforce involvement lagged markedly (58.7% versus 68.9% regionally). Census records showed 33.3% of workers operating from home, although pandemic restrictions during that period should be acknowledged. Leading fields of work for local citizens comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Notably, manufacturing demonstrates a heavy concentration, employing personnel at 1.8 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented, engaging just 6.3% of workers in Edensor Park compared to 11.5% across Greater Sydney. Given its largely residential profile, the suburb provides relatively few internal jobs, as reflected in the disparity between local workers and resident headcount at the Census. Synthesizing ABS and SALM figures, AreaSearch notes that across the twelve months to March 2026, employment grew by 5.2% while the workforce expanded by 5.1%, driving down unemployment by 0.1 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment and labour force both rise by 1.9%, alongside a slight decrease in joblessness. Further perspectives on medium-term demand derive from Jobs and Skills Australia national projections issued in Mar-26. Projected five-year and ten-year nationwide trends were correlated with the local industry profile to anticipate employment shifts. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with wide variation across sectors. Aligning these sectoral outlooks with the local workforce indicates an expected employment rise in Edensor Park of 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this weighting extrapolation serves illustrative goals and omits localized population 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 — 16 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,279 at the 2021 Census → 10,236 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.
